Like many women in India, Prahbu had little education; but she knew how to sew so she did what she had to do, she built a tailoring business to support her family. <br /><br />But after working long hours every day for fifteen years, her body gave out. By the time Rani, a KGM women’s group leader, invited her to an ISOS meeting, Prahbu had lost all hope of her dream of a better life for her children. Her swollen legs could no longer operate her manual sewing machine pedals. How could she pay for her children’s education? She couldn’t provide for herself! <br /><br />To her surprise, Prahbu found at her very first ISOS meeting that the Bible stories she heard and spiritual discussions she participated in comforted her and gave her hope of life after death. Week after week at meetings she deposited a couple dollars into the group’s joint savings account then eagerly listened and learned more. Slowly her faith grew and she came to believe that one day she would take a loan to buy an electric motor for her sewing machine. <br /><br />To her astonishment, she arrived one meeting day and there on her chair was the electric motor she’d been saving to buy. Out of love and concern for her, her sister ISOS members had generously pitched in to purchase the gift. <br /><br />Today, Prahbu has resumed her business and her legs are healthy. Her income provides for her household needs and she sends her two children to school without financial strain. <br /><br />But for all the transformational change Prahbu has experienced since you enrolled her in ISOS – from restored health to a rescued career - she reflects that her greatest gain has been spiritual and she is leading her family and others to Christ by teaching Bible stories and prayers in her home. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.kerusomen.org/p/womens-ministries.html" target="_blank">LEARN MORE ABOUT ISOS</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>You can help a woman in India by enrolling her into an ISOS Women's Transformation Group. 100% of your $25 gift (or gift of any amount!) goes directly to train and empower her to use her God-given talents to lift herself out of poverty and, above all, meet Jesus.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5KPC8VXAHKTJN&source=url" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="900" height="67" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQCFXld4tfPO4GsLvzmrR15G_N8YiH8BkuNO1byx-OV8B2wypLEWfwUk78e9E-6WrsO4_jUjJDGHlymS17vV2GBv7L6vVdOOAOaXEGkndC1VyYppPdYgn3QOdHkYrHr0RxJZkphIBFdeZA5v3YXaOMs_oqwOnAvksywkSjSgXxmGvi6c2YcHdcu1M_Eg/w200-h67/WOMEN'S%20MINISTRIES%20BUTTON.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">KINGDOM IMPACT: FOR EVERY $25 GIVEN, KERUSOMEN CAN INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF ONE WOMAN </span></i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989701084630511141.post-75043554615988140052024-02-25T16:24:00.000-08:002024-02-25T17:24:01.819-08:00<p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="515" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/35qla_G165c?si=0Q8PBcnr1gh8OEKH" title="YouTube video player" width="315"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;"><b>YOU'RE INVITED</b></span></p>Grab a guest and make-wave for the SWEETEST EVENT of the year where PB county's best dessert creations compete to help kids in India meet Jesus.

For believers there are three meanings of coming. The first was 2,000 years ago when Jesus came into the world as a baby to live as a man and die for us. That day we celebrate at Christmas when THE HOPE of the world “became flesh and made His dwelling among us.”</div><br /><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">LET'S PRAY: </span></b> We thank You, God, that Jesus is still the only Hope of the world. We celebrate the prophetic hope of a Savior, realized in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 9:6-7). We continue to hope in You as your presence strengthens our faith each day. (Rom. 15:3) In Jesus name, Amen. <br /><br /><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">SECOND SUNDAY: PEACE</span></b><br />Last Sunday we focused on the first meaning of the word Advent (or coming in Latin): Jesus coming to earth to live and die for us. This second Sunday of the Advent season we believers focus our hearts on the second meaning of the word coming: the coming of the Lord Jesus into our hearts giving us the gift of PEACE with God. “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">LET'S PRAY:</span></b> We thank You, God, for the peace we have with You, through our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Whatever our circumstances, calm our anxious hearts. Fill us with Your peace that transcends all understanding. (Phil. 4:7) Forgive us our weaknesses and help us live in peace with our neighbor, an example of your Holy Spirit within us. (Col. 3:15) In Jesus name, Amen.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">THIRD SUNDAY: JOY</span></b><br />The third Sunday of Advent is here. Over the last two Sundays we’ve celebrated the hope that arrived at Jesus' birth, His first advent (coming) and remembered with gratitude His second advent when we first believed in Him and His coming into our lives as Lord and Savior. Today we look with JOY to His second coming in the future when Jesus comes back to earth, not as a baby, but as King and Judge. “Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” (2 Tim. 4:8) Let’s pray:<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">LET'S PRAY:</span></b> We thank you, God, for the promise of Jesus’ second coming and ask that you fill us with Your JOY as we choose to live and depend on You every day until that great day arrives. (Rom. 15:13, John 15:11) We joyfully await and anticipate Your soon appearance! (Luke 2:10) In Jesus name, Amen.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">FOURTH SUNDAY: LOVE</span></b><br />This year as we remember the reason for our <b><span style="color: #bf9000;">Hope, Peace, Joy and Love</span></b>, we also remember the unreached in India who have never heard the name of Jesus so they have yet to receive the Gift of His first coming, Amazing Grace, and therefore are without the daily grace of His second coming, the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts. <br /><br />We invite you to join us as we pray with even greater passion for our KGM India pastors’ mission, so that when Christ returns triumphantly at His third coming, more Indians will greet Him as Lord, saved from judgment. <br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS</span></b><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989701084630511141.post-45993259852451080982023-12-07T08:19:00.000-08:002023-12-07T08:19:52.127-08:00Thanks KGM Partners<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8JUBUMkeGeVZjeJzug9vDlKWfQ4CoC5riZ-TGs25KPyO8XeZApCNr3pnZG_VYcJ1YgEBGAjd2Hu1UXZQFLLW6_Rf9EdV81jlujjsBb_pjTzslOw00BCrHO-Oa_YM2sjcc6hjIzhUToCu0kuylLqxXI4tTftlV712bCQ8bODu78qlEaGQoD0Bu7TQFjpM/s1920/Thanks%20for%20Unlocking%20Matched%20Funds.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8JUBUMkeGeVZjeJzug9vDlKWfQ4CoC5riZ-TGs25KPyO8XeZApCNr3pnZG_VYcJ1YgEBGAjd2Hu1UXZQFLLW6_Rf9EdV81jlujjsBb_pjTzslOw00BCrHO-Oa_YM2sjcc6hjIzhUToCu0kuylLqxXI4tTftlV712bCQ8bODu78qlEaGQoD0Bu7TQFjpM/w640-h360/Thanks%20for%20Unlocking%20Matched%20Funds.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b> </b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>DRUMROLL...CUE THE CONFETTI...

Birthdays are a great place to start because, well… we ALL have one! So, think about the people on your birthday gift list in the next few months. Then boldly pick four of them to give a Tribute Gift Card to rather than a store-bought gift. Let’s say you give just $10 to KGM - in each of their names. Here’s examples of the difference you’ll make:<br /><br /><blockquote><b>√</b> TWO MONTHS food and medicine for two widows PLUS two flocks of chickens to TWO MORE WIDOWS, giving them fresh eggs to eat and sell.<br /></blockquote><blockquote>√ Give TWO BELEIVERS Bible Story Scarves with training in the storytelling method so they can boldly share their faith AND give TWO FAMILIES FIVE CHICKENS EACH so their kids get healthy food and they earn extra income to send them to school.<br /></blockquote><blockquote><p> √ Send ONE WOMAN to skills training so she can get a better job or even start a business (ISOS) AND give THREE MORE hardworking moms a flock of chickens each.</p></blockquote><br />BUT YOUR IMPACT DOESN'T STOP THERE! Imagine your friends opening the KGM gift card you chose - telling them how lives are being changed, in their name. They’ll be thrilled by your thoughtful way of making their birthday an extraordinary one by including them in God’s victories in India. <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><a href="https://www.kerusomen.org/p/tribute-card-faq.html" target="_blank">LEARN MORE HERE.</a></b></span> <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989701084630511141.post-84034719632607739472023-11-19T05:34:00.000-08:002023-11-19T05:36:00.267-08:00Change a Child's Life<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95bQVLE_P6HFwte1FbFD3G2KJeU2Q_FuZTBD0YasEaRZc934YOnWXadSgXT7jpo4glr7VM898p-6isjCPFpZyA2hdTEdpVa9qmrbbs-yxj2fHMznhWDvlWvTC3wZ3kROdMyw0ngojCy821fZih1GWSH9Vlz5SrrZuORA96AwOE-tF0WkGa5H2Y_oknLI/s940/GOAT%20CHIX%20SCHOOL%20GIRL%20COLLAGE.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" height="536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95bQVLE_P6HFwte1FbFD3G2KJeU2Q_FuZTBD0YasEaRZc934YOnWXadSgXT7jpo4glr7VM898p-6isjCPFpZyA2hdTEdpVa9qmrbbs-yxj2fHMznhWDvlWvTC3wZ3kROdMyw0ngojCy821fZih1GWSH9Vlz5SrrZuORA96AwOE-tF0WkGa5H2Y_oknLI/w640-h536/GOAT%20CHIX%20SCHOOL%20GIRL%20COLLAGE.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><b>"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of </b></div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><b>the least of these you did it to me.” </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Matt. 25:40 )</div><div> <br />What would you do to give kids a brighter future?

It was Dotti and her team who first championed KGM's widows in India 12 years ago. Since then, FNF has partnered faithfully to expand that ministry year after year after year. They've provided emergency food, medicine, skills training, income producing goats and chickens and Bible Story Scarves to at-risk India widows. But most of all they've sent their love and their prayers to these precious women every single day.<p></p><p>Happy 35th Anniversary Friends Needing Friends! Your amazing ministry to widows here, in India, and all around the globe through your wonderful<b> <a href="http://friendsneedingfriends.blogspot.com" target="_blank">FNF Blog</a></b>, has touched the lives of countless widows for God's glory for decades.

But International Widow's Day reminds us that widowhood doesn’t have an expiration date. Women who've lost their spouse need our ongoing love, help, and support. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Many times a simple acknowledgement that you haven't forgotten their loss or their husband, will help them heal and remind them that you want to stay connected and be a part of their life. In her book entitled, <i>From One Widow to Another</i>, Miriam Neff lists seven to-do tips that can help us to help and encourage widows.
