Baking: Preparing the ingredients (Bakery update part 1)

Women of the prospective bakery praying before their first meeting after receiving support

Cookies: thinking of things that might sell

The women of the Sudan Interior Church had been praying for almost two years for this opportunity.  Life is not easy for some of these women.  Some of them have returned to South Sudan after the long civil war ended and the South got its independence.  Having come from the North after twenty years of war, they were forced to restart their lives in a foreign place. 

When the women prayed, they didn’t know how it would materialize but prayed in faith… and Faith answered.   A church in Canada named Faith Community decided to support them. 

This will be a relatively small project that we hope will have a big impact in the lives of those who will be working as well as in the church. 

The ladies met to start to plan and prepare their shop.  The storefront they want to rent will have to be cleared and cleaned.  Baking items for the business, ovens, and all the ingredients will have to be purchased and training will have to take place on how to bake popular items.

Here, at the point where the project seems to have materialized, they go back to their starting point, prayer.  There are still hurdles ahead but the women are preparing the ground… or you could say preparing all the necessary ingredients.
