RMI’s growth spurt in continuing! We’d like to introduce you to Jeff and Christina Speel. They live in Absecon, New Jersey where they have served at Beacon Evangelical Free Church in Galloway, NJ since 2010.

In addition to caring for their two children, Elle (4 years old) and Hutz (1-year-old), Christina helps out in various ministries of the church.

Pillowcase dresses – A fun and easy idea to get gals of all ages in your church involved in doing something for your C3 partner church! They are simple and don’t take an experienced seamstress to create. Here are some samples of pillowcase dresses that were recently made for little girls in Haiti. It’s easy to find patterns online (search “pillowcase dress pattern” in either Pinterest or in your internet search bar). You can collect pillowcases (preferably pretty designs and/or bright colors) in standard and king sizes, obtain fabric pieces for the ruffles, print the instructions and you’re good to go. Make some samples for folks to see. Prepackage them in Ziploc bags, and have ladies sign up to take them home to make or perhaps have an old fashioned sewing bee to make the dresses as a group. The dresses are intended for young girls, approximately 3-8 years old.
