In spring 2012, Rachel responded to God's call and decided to combine her love for cooking with a personal concern for the local community. She had the idea of inviting local children and families to come together at a venue, learn about healthy eating – and learn about God in the process. They would hear a Bible story, bake something as a group and then sit down to eat it.
Her aim was to help people 'develop a healthy heart for God' through an initiative called Maker and Bakers.
It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know the families… to share a little bit of God's love for them through the storytelling but also through the relationships that we're building.
So far, Rachel adds, everybody has really enjoyed it.
There's been a great desire to do more and more of them so we keep following God's guidance and keep going with it.
