Used to village culture, they are adrift. Empower a Refugee tells the stories of refugees who participated in the Peace of Thread program near Atlanta, GA. Run by compassionate Christians who have found their calling in helping the dispossessed, Peace of Thread involves refugee women in fabric-related craft work that allows them to express their skills and to earn modest sums from the sale of their handbags and other creations. Their husbands participate in a related training program in auto mechanics. After its success in Atlanta, the Peace of Thread concept is growing to other locations. Volunteers report that their work with the refugees has also "rescued" them by giving purpose to their lives and helping them to define their calling as religious seekers in this materialistic age, where fear and rejection of the Other is all too common. 650 0 $a Refugees $x Services for $z Clarkston. $z Clarkston. 650 0 $a Women refugees $x Services for $z Clarkston. $z Clarkston. 650 0 $a Church work with refugees $z Clarkston. $z Clarkston. 610 20 $a Peace of Thread (Organization) 776 08 $i Online version: $a Holt, Patricia Martin, author. $t Empower a refugee $b First edition. $d Seattle : Cune Press, 2018 $z 9781614570189 $w (DLC) 2019015371 941 $a 3 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20221206013044.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20220528010107.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20220302015452.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=47F7BC3299F911ECBB37442E4AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
