Above Rubies | An International Women's Ministry
For the Love of the Family Ministries
As a pastor for many years I have become greatly concerned and greatly burdened over the number of children who grow up not to serve the Saviour from Christian homes. There seems to be a real lack of practical, spiritual, biblical training going on in this apostate hour. I am also greatly concerned about the number of Christian families that are blowing apart and the tragedy that results from these lives. It is the desire of this ministry to help, encourage, and to provide training and biblical help to families to not lose their children and for parents to know what it means to be godly parents, husbands, and wives. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Contributions and support are appreciated to provide for the work of the ministry. Dr. Terry Coomer

Cross-Stitched Bible Covers

These are beautifully hand-sewn bible covers made by less privileged Christian brethren from a country/ tribe in our region. All proceeds go to them. Do take a look at their cross stitch work in their beautiful ethnic designs.

Children's Bible Covers

The Bible Covers from this album are done by the same brethren as the previous alum. This set of bible covers, more suitable for children, depict scenes from the bible, all beautifully stitched on. Great for gifts as well!
