First WOTP Training Seminar

Thanks for your support and encouragement! 

Our first  Women of the Proverbs One DayTraining Seminar went well. We learned the beginning steps of creating the Tortilla basket from Masiko.

We ate a heart healthy lunch of Tortillas, Beans and Salads that included avocado and made new friends who are determined to work for their 

groups. We also taught the women how to makeTortillas plus the beautiful and cultural Ewino single bead necklace from Joan. 

I hope this is the beginning of many good friends who will turn around and bless women from their Groups by taking back knowledge, skills and the 

message of the Gospel for the good of the world and for God's glory. 

Disciple a woman, disciple and nation! 

In the weeks to come:

Learning how to Grow the Oyster mushroom for fun and for Profit

Making paper from Banana fibre, papyrus and more

Understanding Color Theory and using Color in Nature

Gospel Storying- the Woman and the Serpent

WOTP Household Survey

The Fuel Saver Basket

Fuel Saver Basket

My friend Luan and I put together these slow cooker baskets recently to give to her friend 

for a  test run. In Sudan it's called a Marriage Saver Basket. The concept is that you cook 

your food or sauce on a hot fire for 30-40 minutes. After that you wrap the pot with tight 

fitting lid in cloth and stick it in the basket snug and tight. The grass keeps the heat in and 

acts as a slow cooker. When you wake in the morning or come home after work the food or 

beans etc. are soft and warm, ready for final preparations. All to help to save firewood, 

charcoal and fuel for cookers. 

We hope it can be not only a money saver but a money maker!

Training of Trainers

Next week we are planning a Women of the Proverbs Training Day, May 16th. I have invited a woman named Masika who will teach us how to make the Tortilla Basket,  a senior woman by the name of Joann will help us learn how to make Eiwino, a cultural single bead neck lace that used to be made from giraffe hair. And a tutorial on making the theTortilla that will be served with our lunch of fresh cooked beans, salad of avacado, mango, red onion, green pepper and tomato with a light lemon and salt, fresh cilantro dressing. I want to teach the women from the scriptures lessons that will relate to creating high quality goods for sale in the market place, business, finances and truths that will be applicable to all areas of our lives. 

Please pray NOW for wisdom, knowledge and that I will communicate well the message of God's amazing love for each one of us. 

In June Katie Kron, our intern is coming to Uganda to help with Women of the Proverbs project. Please pray for Katie's safety and health in Uganda, pray for her to be wowed by Jesus amazing love for her and pray something like... the knowledge she imparts to women will bless them and result in a harvest of God's goodness and righteousness. 

Please pray for Katie now!  Thanks for being part of increasing the capacities of women in Western Uganda!
