We had an amazing experience yesterday (Friday 25 June) when we had lunch with Nicci Vaughan who is store manager of The Job Factory. We met Nicci through my lovely friend Rylla who decided we should be put into contact with each other, so that's how we met.
In short, The Job Factory contains a nice cafe, clothing for sale, musical instruments, all things nice (!!) and a restaurant on the top floor. They employ people who are finding it difficult to get a job and train them up. At the moment they have around 120 trainees, each having a mentor. As well as working they go to school one day a week and learn communication skills, etc.
Here is the web address, but of course it is all in German, but it you go to it, you will get a bit of an idea of what they are up to: http://www.jobfactory.ch/
We were so thrilled to meet Nicci, to hear about how God originally touched her life and has now transformed it and is using her many skills to have a real ministry to these young people through The Job Factory, which was started by a Swiss Christian man with a real vision for helping young people.
We had a tour of the whole complex, including all the offices, print works, IT and factory. Absolutely amazing.
And of course we can't help but smile as we meet yet another person in the twilight of us leaving this beautiful country. And we wonder......what is God up to?!!
