Why Train Widows In Skills
June 19, 2024
Starting Widow Connection was not my idea. After becoming one, and experiencing the devastation of it all, I hung on to my God, treasured the 103 verses on widows in Scripture I had ignored before.
Visiting Africa and seeing the plight of widows there, I knew I needed to act. God prompting, God asking, ‘Miriam, daughter of mine, what are you going to do about it?’ Widow Connection, His idea. Their great immediate need is economic stability, income to feed their orphaned children and survival. The tailoring skill? Why not?
But my greater motivation was that they know God’s love for them in their abandoned position. And this widow could tell them of Him. His love for me, reaching out with skill training, evidence of His love for them.
Skill training, temporary. Embracing God, permanent.
