“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” -2 Corinthians 9:6-7
GoTEN has so many faithful, cheerful supporters that work in unison to help provide for the organization in its work among unreached people groups. We want to thank Jan and Chuy Martinez for coordinating a fundraising campaign with the congregation at Circle of Peace Church. Circle of Peace Church was recently a shining example of generosity as they provided needed items to help the GoTEN sewing program. Donations including fabric, buttons, needles, yarn, thread, scissors, measuring tape, and other sewing items, as well as cash donations, directly support refugees in Phoenix. Shop Refugee is a transformative initiative aimed at equipping refugee women, both beginners and advanced, with vital sewing skills that not only imparts technical knowledge, but also provides them with a means to generate sustainable income, preparing them for sewing jobs in the wider community. The handcrafted products made by refugee women in this program find their way to local markets, bookstores, coffee shops, and are also available online at shoprefugee.com.
Thank you Circle of Peace Church for your continued support in ministry, and thank you to all that have invested and continue to invest in GoTEN’s work among unreached people.
