Elizabeth   


Location: Middle East

Commissioned: 1996

Elizabeth, one of CBF’s field personnel, ministers to women in the Middle East through microenterprise projects.

In communities where jobs are scarce and many live in poverty, the microenterprise model enables those with little money and a good idea.

Elizabeth has watched as lives are transformed through the simple process of creating crafts from olive wood. In this microenterprise project, individuals with disabilities and others who have been marginalized by their communities are able to work and provide for their families. Many widows also provide for themselves and their families through the crafts they make.

Elizabeth’s ministry originally focused on medical missions. She continues to use her medical skills as she visits workers and their families, providing health education and screenings.
