I wish you could have been at our recent women’s training seminar in Malawi. You would have seen firsthand the incredible impact of your support.
When 20 women first began BEE World training a few years ago, many had only a 6th-grade education. One woman could hardly read or write. Another was so nervous that when asked to lead a lesson, she turned her back to the audience and faced the wall. Still another stammered so badly that reading aloud was an awful experience for her.
At first, some of the women were critical of those who struggled. But instead of letting division take root, our BEE World facilitator invited the group into a conversation about how God created each of us differently—and how He calls us to love and accept one another. What happened next was extraordinary: hearts softened, patience grew, and the women began supporting each other. Instead of competing, they learned to carry one another’s burdens. Today, the very women who once struggled the most are thriving. The woman who could barely read has become a capable reader. The one who once turned away from the group now stands tall, leading her peers. Even the woman who stammered has persevered and now reads with confidence.
