Crafts at Hem of His Garment.
“I don’t expect anything good from life!” The young woman’s words still ring in my soul. For 32 years she has already experienced much evil.
The woman is a Christian, married for seven years, but she receives no care and intimacy in her marriage. After severe abuse in her childhood, every man is now an enemy. Her heart is broken and there is no man to heal it and make it whole again.
The 58-year-old experienced servant of God who lost her husband unexpectedly also had her heart broken. Another woman experienced severe rejection and abuse from her daughter and found no purpose in living anymore. Another was asking herself, “Why does God seem to be silent and doesn’t hear my prayers? Has God rejected me?” Each of these 19 women came to the spring session of Hem of His Garment to experience their miracle.
Only Jesus can heal broken hearts! But He does so only if we trust Him and allow Him to bring His light into the dark corridors of the secrets of our past. God promises us: He sent out His word and healed them and rescued them from their destruction. Psalm 107: 20.
Mission Possible has conducted this restorative programme since 2009. Hundreds of women have left strengthened by the freedom Christ gives them.
Many of them volunteer in subsequent sessions or sponsor other women to participate so they can experience this freedom, too. Each session lasts nine days during which 15-20 women study Gods Word, take time to pray, praise, worship, and share in small groups. In the evenings, during art classes, their hands give shape to what they have experienced during the day.
Women come with broken hearts and leave carried on the wings of the Holy Spirit; free from guilt, ready to forgive and carrying that freedom into the lives of their loved ones.
