Handmade dolls that have often been used during mission trips are now being made for Disaster Relief chaplains to give to victims. Jay Ryan, wife of Missouri Valley Director of Missions, and state chaplain trainer Patrick Ryan said the pattern for the doll came from the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) around 2009. Jay said one lady asked her to get the pattern for the doll. Patrick asked WMU if they wanted to do this.
