A New Year with New Proposals

Greetings! We are near the end of January with several new initiatives in our mission in Arvaiheer. As we mentioned in a previous blog, God blessed us with Harumi, a Japanese lay missionary, who will be living and working with us over the next year. 

Two new initiatives have already begun over the past couple of weeks.  We have begun a new cooking project in order to teach the women baking skills. The products will be used for the church community.


Second, we have also begun a new program for the men who frequent the mission.  They are making various handmade objects such as crosses and book holders that could eventually be sold to visitors as we do with the items made by the women in the local area.


We hope that this gives the men an opportunity to gain a sense of self worth and to help contribute financially to their families in great need of assistance.
