December was a big month for the our women's outreach. We hosted a Breast Cancer Awareness Day as well as a Taste of American Holidays. Both went GREAT!
We didn't have a fantastic turn-out for the Breast Cancer Awareness Day. I personally blame it on the rain. We had a believer from Skopje who is a doctor and a breast cancer survivor come and speak. She did a great job! We sent all of the women home with a bag of information on physical health as well as spiritual health. We have already seen fruit from that day. Praise the Lord.
Most of the women in the picture below are believers who came from Skopje to help out
with the event. They were a huge help and we are so grateful!!!!
The Taste of American Holidays was an absolute hit!!! The women loved coming and tasting all the yummy food we eat around the holidays. The menu was complete with turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, cheese ball, crock-pot weinees, spiced nuts, and lots of Christmas cookies. It was a blast! We were able to give every woman that came a cookbook full of American recipes, Bible verses and the Gospel presentation in it. This event will probably become an annual thing!
We had sugar cookies for the kids that came. They painted and decorated them, and I think they loved this American tradition.
Also, just so you all know our two new journeymen arrived the end of November and they are pretty stinkin' great!!! I love them both so much already and I am so grateful for how God has already used them here in Ohrid. Pray for them as they focus on learning the language for the next month and a half and for their transition into coffee house ministry after that.
