A moment for Poland Please....

I was blessed this morning to hear a bit about the plight of woman and families in Poland.  In post-communism state, there is a 97% unemployment rate among the men due to alcoholism.  The women needed a way to support their families and their new church.  The mission worker started teaching them to sew, and fast forward, they are selling these beautiful Nativity sets.  I was able to see hem this morning, and I tell you, these are top notch and beautiful! 

Here is the link to the mission: and the nativity sets.   You can also meet the families that are participating in this project, and see the changes that have impacted their lives. 

The women are supporting their families, bringing in to their homes things like plumbing and a stove.  More importantly, they feel like they have worth and a reason to be proud.    They have started using their meager savings to support a mission in Africa!

Please check out these beautiful sets, and let me know if you have any questions.  The woman that is in the US selling these for the mission was in Poland while in the area for military duty with her family.  She would just love to get the word out more and sell these sets!
