A Story of Hope and Change Through the Sewing Ministry

Home > More Like the Kingdom > A Story of Hope and Change Through the Sewing Ministry

Life in Kijabe Town, Kenya, presents significant challenges for many women. Without reliable sources of income or strong community support, many women in Kijabe Town face feelings of vulnerability, isolation, and being undervalued. Some are even forced to resort to dangerous or exploitative means of survival due to the lack of economic opportunities.

In response to these realities, our local partner established a sewing ministry in Kijabe Town, seeking to offer these women a place of refuge, transformation, and empowerment. This ministry offers women the opportunity to experience the love of Christ and find a community where they are truly valued. Our goal is to instill in these women a sense of self-worth and ownership over their own lives, empowering them to build a future that does not rely solely on a man’s support but flourishes through their God-given identity and purpose

Stories of Transformation Through the Sewing Ministry

In December, 12 young women graduated from our sewing ministry in Kijabe Town, each with a unique story of transformation.

One story that stands out is of a woman who was saved from a life of prostitution after hearing Rahab, one of our local ministry leaders, preach in town. After coming to faith in Christ, she joined the sewing ministry, where she gained valuable sewing skills, and found a community of believers who supported her spiritually. Today, she runs a clothing shop and operates two motorbike businesses—an inspiring testimony of how God is using this ministry to give women in Kijabe Town hope and a fresh start.

Transforming the Community in Kijabe Town

The impact of this sewing ministry in Kenya reaches far beyond individual lives. As these women find transformation in Christ, their stories inspire others in the community. Local believers in Kijabe have been deeply encouraged by witnessing these powerful stories of redemption and the care God provides for orphans and vulnerable women. This has led many to strengthen their own faith, further spreading the impact of the gospel in Kijabe Town.

Equipping the Next Generation of Women in Kijabe

Looking ahead, our partners Wilfred and Rahab are mentoring 13 young girls through a Bible study they started in the community. These girls are being equipped spiritually and will soon have the chance to join the next cohort of the sewing ministry in Kijabe Town. We are excited to see how God continues to work through this program, bringing healing, empowerment, and hope to the women in Kijabe.

Thank You for Your Support

This ministry would not be possible without your generosity. Your support has made these stories of transformation a reality, and we look forward to witnessing how God will continue to use the sewing ministry in Kijabe Town to change lives and communities for His glory.
