Episode 180 - Travel the World Through Prayer Australia & Russia with Kathie Arnold

“Please Lord, give me strength to be your missionary and live for you every day.” You will be amazed how God answered this prayer from the heart of a young college student the night she gave her heart to Jesus.  Who was this college student? Our dear Moms in Prayer sister, Kathie Arnold!  Today Stacy welcomes this wonderful mom of four and grandma to fourteen to the podcast.  Listen in as Kathie shares her journey from a small town in South Dakota to traveling the world sharing Moms in Prayer and the love of Jesus through the ministry she co-founded with her husband, Come and Sew Ministries International, CASMI.  Only God could write a story like this! About our Guest: Kathie Arnold always had a passion for mission, yet she never imagined or planned anything like CASMI.  It just came out of her life story!    Kathie and her husband Steve were married in 1972, supported missions, raised 4 children, and now have 14 grandchildren.  Kathie and their oldest daughter went on their first mission trip to the former Soviet Union in 1991.  Upon returning home from that trip, Kathie began a sewing school from their home. Ten years after that first mission trip, Steve and Kathie were asked by another ministry to use their life experiences to return to Russia, to investigate how to bring the gospel to orphans through sewing classes in state-run orphanages. They saw a need, were encouraged to go forward, and in 2003 CASMI became an official not-for-profit 501(c)(3).  Steve and Kathie make their home in Texas and continue to share the love of Jesus through CASMI.
