Moved to Tears

Moved to Tears

By Julie Sorget—Midland, Michigan

My involvement with Sew Powerful purses began when I read the book, Unfinished-Believing Is Only The Beginning, by Richard Stearns, President of World Vision.

The book touched my heart by challenging me, as a follower of Christ, to find my purpose and serve the Lord by giving my time, talent or treasure, to the poor and hurting in the world. Feeling unsettled and upset, I cried out to the Lord, “What is it you want me to do?”

The still, small voice in my head reminded me (rather loudly) of my sewing skill! I was so excited! Booting up my computer, I Googled charitable sewing, and Sew Powerful popped up. I read their mission, and was moved to tears. The peace that I felt was amazing! You see, I have some health issues, and am early retired. My unsettled feeling reading the book came from wondering how in the world I could serve in my home.

God had a plan for me, and I am so thankful that I can serve, doing it with the talent He has given me. As I sew each purse, I pray for the girl that will be receiving it.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40

Sew Powerful Purse Program

Our annual Sew Powerful Purse program enables girls to stay in school. Purses are made and sent to Zambia as gifts. The local seamstresses in Zambia make re-usable hygiene pads and together they are provided to girls as part of health (MHM) training. Get Involved
