Mama Abraham is from Uganda; she is a mother of six; two of her own and 4 of her brothers children. This woman is an amazing woman of God. She was blown up in a landmine during a family funeral; lost her eye and a full term baby; doctors would not operate on her as they felt she was already gone. God had another plan for her.. she slowly recovered with some lingering problems, a Christian Doctor told her that this is her cross to bear as there is not any solution for removing a shard from her brain. Mama Abraham joined the WOW jewelry making groupand her life has changed from near death to a thriving life in Christ. She has taken the proceeds from the sale of her necklaces and save her money. She did not raise the standard of living for herself and children, she purchased two acres of land with a vision for a church and Bible college. She organized a crusade and seminar for pastors and others on her land, with no building, and fed them lunch with the little that shehad. 255 people came to Christ in 3 days and 84 were baptized, 8 were pastors.. her life has changed and she is becoming a change agent in the camp for displaced persons.. her life is leading others to becoming Heavenly Treasures! People knowing Jesus and receiving eternal life!
The sale of ‘magazine bead’ necklaces has changed the lives of hundreds of people.
Your participation in purchasing handicrafts has healed Mama Abraham, emotionally, physically, spiritually and most of all giving her God’s plan, multiplying even the smallest investment in her life.
Here are some beads hanging to dry after varnishing and before stringing into necklaces. Varnishing is done as you see with the bowl of beads, pour some varnish in and mix them with the hands. In the last picture you can see the style I was referring to only not with the mixed beads. She also has it knotted higher than most, but you get the idea. They are some of the bead makers dressed in Sunday's best.
