Cecilia Sakatira
Ministry:
The year 2018 saw a major change in Cecilia’s life for which she had not planned,
but when she looks back, she says she can clearly see God’s hand in all the details, including the painful ones. It was a year of transitioning from leading Threads of Hope Hellas to a place of seeking to hear afresh from God what next He had for her. Through prayer, seeking counsel, and listening with anticipation, the Lord opened doors for her to work with Muslim women once again. “In ways that only God could orchestrate,” says Cecilia, “I got weaving looms from Finland and finances from generous donors which led to our opening a Weaving and Sewing Lab, where I teach 3 times a week, and then once a week at the
government run camp. It is an exciting new ministry we are developing and I
believe it is going to be used to bring healing, restoration, and redemption to the
women and their families.” Currently, Cecilia is applying for a Civil Company
Non-Profit status so that her students can supplement their incomes through the
goods they make. Besides teaching weaving and sewing, Cecilia is involved in a
small group Bible study with some of the refugee families, which allows her also
to participate in daily activities with them, build relationships and community, and helps to bridge the gaps that separate people. She says, “These are women that I long to call sisters, and I know one day they will come to the saving knowledge of Christ.” Your prayers and financial support are always greatly appreciated.
