A Walk Through God's Garden

August 15^th was a perfect day for a walk through God’s garden at the home of Mrs. May Dubuc. It was exciting as approximately three-hundred people strolled through the sunken garden, a replica of Buchart Gardens in British Columbia, following the pathway and reading the scripture passages strategically placed along the walk. Mrs. Dubuc calls this God’s garden because he gets all the glory for the beauty he created.

Linda and her team had prayed diligently for months in anticipation of this great day. It took over thirty friends to complete the preparations for this gala event. As the cars approached the home, three men were there to help with parking and shuttling the visitors to their destinations. Greeters kindly pointed the way to begin the walk. Others waited along the pathway to answer questions and draw attention to the scripture boards. The terminus of the walk was on the back, lower level patio. As the guests entered the home they were greeted again by volunteers who cheerfully offered light refreshments.
Widow’s Might Ministry, International presented a display of the plight and hope of the widow’s through a photo-poster display. Fourteen six foot posters were placed in a well lighted alcove creating an art gallery effect. As the visitors strolled through the gallery they were confronted with the realities of widowhood in Africa and Siberia. Many commented that their eyes were opened as a result of this event.
Katie Beth and her co-worker, Kristen Garrett, produced a DVD that Linda showed to the participants. About every fifteen minutes a new group would be seated at the far end of the room and see a nine minute presentation followed by Linda fielding questions and answers about Widow’s Might Ministry, International. She was also able to share some of her wonderful, God stories with the groups.
As the visitors left the room and returned to the patio for their final exit, they were handed a folder containing Linda’s business card, a vision brochure, a Widow’s Might Brochure, a small book called God’s Promises, a copy of the DVD, and a self-addressed, stamped envelop for those who wished to partner with the ministry at a later date. Secondly, they were encouraged to give on the spot as they were led by the Lord. Many did just that and gave approximately five-thousand dollars for the Widow’s Skills Acquisition center in Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria.
It was truly a glorious day. God was honored and the people who attended were blessed. The pictures reflect some of the beauty of what occurred at the garden walk, but they fail to capture what the Spirit accomplished. Only time will tell how many hearts were touched and lives affected as a result of this great day.
There are so many people to thank for all they did in making this a success for the Lord. To each of you May and Linda give a huge hug and a kiss on each check.

If you are interested in obtaining any of the above mentioned materials, please contact Linda or leave a comment on this blog.

Garden Walk Fundraiser

On August 15, Mrs. May Dubuc, is opening her home to host a “Bring a Friend” garden walk to benefit Widow’s Might Ministry, International. Her garden is a replica of a portion of the sunken garden found in Bouschea Gardens in British Columbia. She refers to this garden as God’s Garden. When you come, you will see why. Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, but she has sprinkled Scriptures throughout that encourage you in the Lord. Mrs. Dubuc’s garden has been featured with the Northville Garden Club for several years. When she was asked if she would consider a garden walk to benefit the widows of the world, her response was immediate, decisive and positive! We are thrilled to have this opportunity for others to enjoy God’s Garden as well as to learn about our ministry to widows.

Fanny Crosby Fundraiser

Saturday, June 23, was a beautiful day in central lake. The plans had begun several months earlier for the Victorian luncheon hosted by Mrs. Lois Whitehead at her home on Central Lake.

As usual, Lois had a vision, and brought that vision to pass. The food, decorations and music were exceptional. Lois’ friend, Gail, had come from Livonia to make her labor light. Beth and Sherri, Lois’ daughters, brought their beautiful voices from Jackson and Commerce Township, to lead the women with hymns that have blessed generations of Christians.

I humbly became Fanny Crosby, the great, blind hymnist. God provided delightful ladies attired in Victorian array that enjoyed our afternoon together. They also heard many stories about God’s provision for Widow’s Might Ministry, International. And as a plea was made for further funding, they generously contributed to our W-3 project a well, a wall, and a water tower for the widow’s skill acquisition center in Onitsha, Nigeria.

A huge thank you goes out to all the women who served and attended.
