Glorybound

Occasionally, something I post on Facebook, seems fitting for my blog readers too.  That is the case with this short feature:

Robin sharing joy and her creativity and skills with Ugandan students.

My friend Robin has ventured into an opportunity God presented.  In partnership with a widow in Uganda and a local church, she is using her creativity, technical skills, and energy, to teach a Ugandan community how to make practical and personal projects and items to sell.  Alongside a Ugandan church, people are working toward a more hopeful path of survival and sustainment.  Robin makes visits to Uganda, and her partner, Winnie is in the States now sharing their work.  Check  out https://www.gloryboundministry.com  – the ministry needs resources to become self-sustaining.

You may see that I tagged Gret Glyer (https://DonorSee.com) on this Facebook post.  He was an acquaintance of ours and we were part of DonorSee’s inception.  Days before an assailant cut his life short while he slept at home in his bed, Gret posted his vision and passion to see the world free of poverty.  Projects like Glorybound work toward that dream.  Jesus’ insights help us understand poverty.  First, Jesus told us that poverty will always exist; the poor will always be with us (Matthew 26:11).  Jesus also explained the importance, even the requirement, to help others, especially those in the family of faith (Matthew 25:40). That is why I share these photos and the unique work of my friend Robin.  Feel free to share this post.

Backpacks, clothes and personal items are sewn for personal use and to sell.  Mind you, the work is beautiful under Robin’s influence!
Avocados are plentiful in the region, and can be used for soap making; soap being a rare commodity there.

Wife, mother and grandmother, educator and someone who thinks about the things I observe. I am the daughter of a writer; my dad's career was in the field of journalism. More significantly, I am God's child, a person believing in Jesus Christ and in His timeless Word. Blogging is new to me but I feel like I've always had a pen in my hand. I jot notes in my planner, mark papers, underline verses, write many letters, and occasionally draft articles for work or church. When I am not holding a pen, I am probably cuddling a mug of coffee.
