Threads of Hope: The Problem

What is it like living on a remote island? From a distance it may seem to be the stuff dreams are made of. In reality, it means living in constant anxiety over the health and well being of your family. On the island of Balabac, the Molbog people struggle to provide a reasonable life for their family. It means living each day fearful that you can’t pay for medicine if you child gets malaria, a disease that claims many each year. Parents wish the best for their child but know all the government only offers is a fifth grade education.As a result it means watching your kids leave the island in search of jobs and finding themselves taken advantage of because they are desperate people.Lack of rain and inadequate farming techniques keep them in a constant search of daily food.

Threads of Hope: The Plan

What if we gave them the tools and skills to work? Seeds of Life provided some simple machines and then taught a few women the skills to create bracelets out of simple colored thread. Desperate for work, women came from all over to learn the skills that would provide for their families. Whether by hand or by self-made machines they weave these threads in hope that life will be better.

Threads of Hope: The Big Picture

Not only are these ladies earning a living for their families, they are helping their whole village. After the sale of these bracelets all the funds return to the Molbog people to generate projects that will speak to needs in their village. For example: a terraced farming project and a clay oven bakery are already being started. These two projects will provide food and finance for many families.There is now excitement among the Molbog people to begin ideas for their own school. It really could be a reality! Who would have thought that a simple thread could create so much hope for the island people of Balabac? We hope that each time you see your bracelet or anklet you will remember the Molbog people on the south pacific island of Balabac and pray for them.Providing the Molbog people with hope means giving them a means to a better livelihood. Seeds of Life Ministries seek to model the Love and Care of Jesus by helping the Molbog people have a full and enriched life. Our goal is to assist these people to find a livelihood that helps them care for themselves and share with them the message of Truth that speaks to their spiritual needs as well.

In doing this we fulfill God’s desire for all people.
