The Fashion Show

Some may wonder what a fashion show has to do with advancing the Kingdom of God. We would attempt an explanation. The pictures you are about to peruse through, are of ladies who have been trained to sew by the StoneHouse Sewing Center.

This is their graduation, celebrating the completion of their first six months.

All the clothes they are modelling are of their own making. What it has done for their confidence in who they are... is nothing short of incredible. Some have already begun to provide for their families through their self-made merchandise, and others are spreading the news to come and learn a skill throughout their impoverished neighbourhoods.

Their testimonies after the fashion show was inspiring. We listened as each praised God and expressed their gratitude to their teachers.

A few stated that they had felt hopeless, but now have a skill that gives them a way to control their destiny.

They were so grateful to have had completed a half of year of training through the dedication and hard work of Richard their teacher and Cynthia their manager.

Consider these scriptures describing the fulness of womanhood as you look at pictures of these excellent women, who chose not to sit around complaining about their poverty... but rather change their future through learning this skill.

She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27

She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.    Proverbs 31:13, 19

She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.   Proverbs 31:18

She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.    Proverbs 31:20

She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.    Proverbs 31:21

She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.    Proverbs  31:22

She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.     Proverbs 31:24

Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.      Proverbs 31:25

Behold the blossoming confidence of these ladies. Should your heart be so moved, please consider helping us to continue … helping them excel. May our Father continue to bless StoneHouse Sewing Center!
