Compassion Ministry
Stitches of Blessings
A ministry to teach sewing to around 15-20 students yearly to have an income for their families. Students must complete all projects to graduate and be gifted with the machine they have used all year. Each session also includes a Bible Study & prayer.
Stitches of Blessings is our annual sewing ministry. Most of the women we work with don't have an education beyond the 6th grade level. Their self-esteem is pretty low and they don't have a degree or skill to fall back on. Many of them want to help their husband or are single moms who want to do more for their kids. Stitches of Blessings is a great platform to empower these women and give them not only spiritual support, but also the tools and knowledge needed to grow personally and economically.
We meet on a monthly basis, having Bible studies, prayers, and working on specific sewing projects every time we meet, to give them new ideas and skills. We try to provide sewing materials as often as we can.
When the course is over, we hold a graduation ceremony, and each participant gets to take home the sewing machine they used all year to start working and selling their own sewing projects. It’s amazing to be able to empower and gift these women. The best part, however, is seeing how throughout the year each woman grows in her relationship with Christ.
What can US$35.00 dollars accomplish?
With US$35 a month (US$420 a year), we are able to provide each woman with their own sewing machine plus materials and snacks for the whole year. Please prayerfully consider supporting Stitches of Blessings and joining our efforts in empowering and training women in Guatemala to be self-sufficient.
How it Works

Other than donations, our Stitches of Blessings ministry seeks guest teachers and trainers that can empower women by sharing useful experience and well thought out sewing projects.
If you have a heart for this ministry, please pray for God to provide the leadership with wisdom to come either with a team or by yourself, and to also provide the necessary funding. Your contribution would be a tremendous blessing. Please see our Get Involved page for more information.
