The Vase moves on

Ruth House: The Hope Vase.

The Serving Africa Mission has been aware for many years of the high level of domestic villoence expereinced by women in Ghana . In recent years, this has become a poltical issue, and the government has now passed the "Violence against women" bill, laying down penalties for men found guilty of this crime.

Now it needs to build hostels, where women can find some respite from the violence, and have a chance to rebuild their lives.

The Serving Africa Mission has responded to this call with "Ruth House." This will be a small hostel, on our base in Ghana , which will be built close to our medical fscility and our on site staff.

We have found a real heart for this issue among the women of the U.K. , but again and again they have asked us "What can we do?" So we have bought the "Hope" vase. Mary Smith, head of women's work for the mission, a trained U.K. teacher and Psstor in the African church will begin to tour with the vase. How does it work? Mary will be invite women to put into the vase whatever they feel will help Ruth House and the women of Ghana . Money will be used in the project, but she will also ask women to put in thoughts, hopes, encourgements, prayers - anything which comes from their hearts. We will keep all these items, put them in a book, and place it inside Ruth House when it is built, to encourage broken African women, and to tell them "We understand. We Care."

The HOPE vase

We are starting a new project for Ruth - the hope vase.

This is a simple pottery vase, into which women can put anything. Any money will be used for Ruth House.

But any thoughts, prayers, hopes will be gathered into a book, and kept in Ruth House for the encourgement of those who come to the House.

Pictures and more details will follow.

Carnival

We spoke to many people about Ruth Houdse at our carnival. We can only keep pushing on, in the hope thst someone will hear from God, and help us.

Hard struggle

What to do?

Our problem is that we cannot get women to see our vision.

On Saturday, we will be giving away at least 1000 leaflets at a local event.

We need someone to see the vision and help us.

July

Well, we are 4000.00 short of starting with the wall, which is very exciting.
All we need is for someone to see the vision.
Let's hope on!
