Muffins and Necklaces

A new day means a new craft  and a new dish in Ufa.  The cooking items were morning glory muffins and banana nut muffins.  The craft was hand made jewelry.  Today, some of the women that have been participating all week brought some of their friends with them.  Since the cooking piece was centered around muffins, Patti shared  about the 'Bread of Life'.  
First a little prep.

The Mt. Olivet women along Allison, Susan, Eileen and Tara are working hard during the day to make these exchanges happen every evening.  Getting the food everyday is a big challenge.  What makes it all worth the effort are the relationships that are being built between the believers (local and American) and non-believers that attend each evening.  Everything we do here is done with a purpose.  There are many different ways that Christians can reach people for Jesus.  For these ladies, it is cooking and crafts.  These are things they each know well.  This should challenge us to think about what methods we can use to reach out.  These exchanges each evening are about making connections.  That is our main goal in Ufa, to connect local believers with non-believers and everyone with the Gospel.  It is great when people like the ladies from Mt. Olivet are able to use English and American culture as a magnet to draw people together and ultimately closer to Christ.
