                                                Women's Bible Studies

                                                Kim Rabenold leads a weekly Bible study during which she also teaches local women marketable skills. "It's exciting to help remove myths the women have about health and their bodies, while at the same time teaching and educating them in God's Word," says Kim. The class is taught every Thursday for 22-25 women.


                                                Life can be extremely difficult for an African woman.

                                                She raises and trains all the children, with the youngest tied to her back; she's required to get (and cut) firewood for cooking over an open fire; she must walk for the family's water; she does a large part of the farming, many times being expected to oversee the harvest; she receives extended family who come and stay; she receives very little thanks for the work she does and in many instances she is verbally or physically abused. With very little income they must provide for the family's needs. 

                                                Kim has a heart for these women and does her best to address from a Christian viewpoint the struggles these women face. She visits the sick and attends the many local funerals with her African friends.
