Rwanda Bound…One Ruler at a Time!

Rwanda Bound :
In April, my husband and I are going back to the country we so dearly love, Rwanda. This country has our hearts. Personally, I can't wait to reconnect and hug the women in the church and sewing school. These women and people are precious to us, precious to me.  Each time we go, we pray finances will  come in and for creative ideas to help us cover the costs…..today, I believe I got that idea.

Follow me for a moment….

A few weeks ago we were at my parents for lunch. Everyone was talking about how tall they were, or how tall they thought they were. It quickly became a funny argument…I said, 'Jamie's 5'10.' To which my Dad piped up and said, 'Yeah, in his dreams'. My brother grabbed the measuring tape and away we went. From the youngest (9 months) to the oldest he had our exact heights. It was hilarious! We said, 'Mom, let us write our heights on your wall. You need something to keep track of all of us.' And that was pretty much it…. until this morning. I was in my comfy blue chair having my quiet time and this idea came to mind. (I've seen it before) But as I continued to pray, I knew this was it. I shared my idea with a friend, and she agreed it would be great.  So, I'll be selling these awesome hand crafted rulers for $80. The proceeds from these rulers will be going towards the costs for our mission.

This time when we go to Rwanda, we will be preaching, teaching and helping with the needs of the sewing school. We are also desiring to start a sponsorship program. So, when you purchase one of these, you'll be partnering with us.

What you get :

• It's a 1x12x6 plank.
• I condition and stain the wood. 
• You can choose from 'Dark Walnut' or  'Special Walnut'. (If you have another preference, let me know.)
• Awesome family memories that you can take with you from home to home.
• A wall hanger on the backside. 
• Personalization

You'll notice it starts at 6 inches so you can hang it on the wall six inches off the ground. This ensures it won't interfere with your baseboards.

When I  think of how funny it was to sit around and measure everyone at our last family dinner,  I thought of how fun it would be to do this at Thanksgiving, Christmas or another special occasion each year,  with the children or Grandchildren. It can also be a family treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation.

I'm from Thorndale, but I'm in the London/St.Thomas/Dorchester area often. If you live out of town we can arrange delivery.  We are in the Windsor area and will be up in Kitchener and Grimsby in the next few weeks.  You can pay by cash or email transfer.

Any monies received over and above the cost of our flights/accommodations will go strictly to the sewing school. How awesome is that. I'm praying these fly off the shelves. I'm not afraid of hard work, I desire to be a blessing and to be able to bless the places we minister in. So, please share this. Share it with friends, family, co-workers….

Can also be bought as a gift for Grandparents, Parents or Parents to be! If you purchase as a gift, we can do a surprise delivery!

I'm so thankful the Lord has given me gifted hands and a creative mind. I'm also thankful to all of you for your support!
