Undisclosed country

E is supported by Harvest Chapel. She teaches four cooking classes a week and between them about 50 people regularly attend. The classes have provided more freedom to have personal, deep and spiritual conversations with these folks. She also greatly enjoys leading two book clubs. These books open up the door to have some spiritual conversations in a fairly natural way. Through working with these two clubs, she has been able to come into more contact with locals her age with whom she can connect. E has begun a study once a week of the Good Word with three new believers who she met through the cooking club!


She is also doing counseling for women with depression  at the women's shelter and is working on translating some resources about depression into xo@#$%. 

 

Please be lifting up all the work E is able to do. There are days when it can be hard to hear the things her friends share with her. There is so much abuse and trauma in the culture. She needs wisdom on how to cope with what she sees and hears in a healthy and sustainable way.
