OFFERINGS FROM EXOTIC LANDS
Today marks the second day of our online auction to raise money for my three teenagers' mission trips.
All of today's offerings come from my missionary friend Clinton White. He previously did a WORLD RACE mission trip with ADVENTURES IN MISSIONS that took him to 11 nations in 11 months. He has since spent time ministering in other places including Haiti and Ukraine. To read more about his missionary adventures, go to his blog: http://ministryhappens.blogspot.com/
In the meantime, let the bidding begin on these beautiful items from exotic lands.
These two bracelets were made by women and girls who have escaped the sex trade industry of Thailand or were at high risk of turning to prostitution. They were made at Narimon, the women's product division of Servantworks. When an item is bought from Narimon, the money is used to help a women stay financially independent of needing the sex industry for her livelihood. When Clinton bought this jewelry, he was helping women who are working to find and maintain their dignity. And when you buy this jewelry, the money will be used to help my girls who will be working this summer to help other women either leave the sex industry or never find themselves in a situation where they feel forced to enter it.
This first bracelet is made of various brown stones including "tiger's eye" and is a "coil" bracelet that can be made to fit any size arm, wrist, or even ankle.
