Eve of the Factory

Last July, I was in Amman, Jordan. I was ministering with Iraqi refugee children.

While there, I came across a lot of Syrian women refugees who have fled from Syria to Jordan.

One of the women, in her mid-thirties, had a look of brokenness and sadness. She was in a sewing class. When I asked about her story, I learned that she fled with her three children ages 3,5 and 6 after their house was bombed and her husband was killed. She escaped with nothing. Her three children were screaming as they passed the Syria/ Jordan borders.

As she learned sewing, her three children were attending a Montessori school across the street. A Montessori school with a focus on trauma therapy for war kids.

I learned that before she started in sewing school, she had no means to pay for rent and food. When asked by the head of the sewing school how she paid the rent, her tears rolled down her cheeks. "It costs me dearly." The head of the sewing school learned that the price for rent and for food and for meat was sex.

"I feel so filthy, but I had to feed my children." When the head of the sewing school learned of this, she concentrated on that Syrian girl learning quickly. Then the school bought her a sewing machine and moved her to a new place in Jordan where she put a little sign on her apartment door that reads" ALTERATIONS.

Now she is living life with dignity providing for her children.

When I heard that story, my heart was so moved that I decided to take the Not Guilty team on November 20-24, 2018 to Amman Jordan to minister to the kids at the Montessori school, as well as to the women in the sewing school.

The project- Eve of the Factory- is extending to Syrian women living in Jordan, as well as to Iraq refugees.

We will be training 50 women and 100 kids.

We will need extra funds for this project, which will cost $12,500 but I am sure God will use many to provide for this fantastic project.

I hope you have already bought and read my new book, What Happens After #MeToo- Tackling the Iceberg available on Amazon.
