Weaving Communities Together

It is no secret that partnership is a key element in achieving lasting peace in our world. Against the tide of upheaval and instability today, we at True Vineyard believe there is a greater counter movement of goodwill that is making a difference today. When we link arms with other people and organizations that are working to make a difference in their own way, we can help each other make great strides toward our goals.

That is what happened two Saturdays ago at The Stone Coffee Bar in Gruene, Texas. True Vineyard Ministries was privileged to be a part of "Kids for Kids: Weaving Communities Together." Our friends from KidKnits were there and Ellie (KidKnits founder) taught a group of people how to make their own KidKnits hat from yarn handspun by 21 Rwandan widows. Individuals then donated their completed, woven hats to pediatric cancer patients. Furthermore, Brilliant Starts Learning Academy hosted a bake sale to raise money for pediatric cancer research!

It is pretty incredible that communities came together to support widows in Rwanda through a purchase of a KidKnits kit, only to turn around and provide encouragement and support to pediatric cancer patients. Talk about doubling the difference!

True Vineyard's Executive Director, Diana Wiley, was able to catch up with the kids from Brilliant Starts Learning Academy who knitted a cap together. She was able to thank them personally for doing their part to make a difference for good in the world. They were thrilled to learn about Rwanda and the importance of helping other people. As Ellie, the 10-year-old founder of KidKnits likes to say, "You're never too young to change a life on the other side of the world."

Thanks for making a difference in your own way. Let's link arms together and make a difference for goodness in our world.
