Riley Grace interviews her great Aunt Teddy Sawka. She has been a Christian missionary in Japan for the past 50 years and after the tsunami in 2011, she created a women’s knitting club, Yarn Alive that gained worldwide recognition and even made the Wall Street journal. Suicides were common among the elderly after big natural disasters left them homeless and without a family, and she wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to the women of her town. Not only did it keep them alive but they sent the clothes and blankets they created to hundreds of Syrian refugees and all over the world as natural disasters occurred in other countries. This is the power in obedience. God did more than she ever hoped or could dream.
