| SEWING SCHOOL
This school is developed out of an existing ministry at YWAM Bethlehem, which was developed to train and equip local ladies from the community, who are struggling to find work, with a skill to bring in finances for their families.
The aim of the school is to equip missionaries who would like to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in countries where it is difficult to preach and openly speak about Jesus. Being equipped with the skill of sewing provides an opportunity to teach others the skill and in so doing build relationship which then opens a door to subtly share the Gospel.
