God's Arms and Baby Blankets

While we were in Pittsburgh, we spent an evening with a group of ladies who call themselves "God's Arms".  These precious ladies from a variety of churches get together regularly and crochet baby blankets, hats, socks, etc. and distribute them free of charge to hospitals, the crisis-pregnancy center, and other organizations who assist families.  It is a labor of love and they have a great time doing it.  They provided us with a large number of beautiful baby blankets to take back to Mozambique.   Each blanket is covered by prayer for those destined to receive it.

Blankets are expensive and difficult to obtain in Mozambique.  In their winter, the temperatures can drop into the 50's which is very cold when you have no source of heat.  We had the privilege of providing blankets to new mothers during our first term and they were greatly appreciated.  We are very thankful for the opportunity to continue this ministry, demonstrating God's love in a unique way from a group in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania to the dear ladies of Mozambique.

Blessings.
