Won't You Be My Neighbor?

I’m selling handmade spoon bracelets to help support a few of my friends who are going overseas to do ministry. One of those friends is Christine Waldersen. She’s from the East Side, and has met with various community gatherings all over Simi Valley, and even out to Shepherd of the Hills in Porter Ranch. She’s hoping to move to Thailand with Overseas Mission Fellowship. Also, I’m having lunch today with a friend who is currently trying to raise support to go do ministry in Marseilles, France with Christar. Hopefully I’ll be able to post some info about what he’s going to be doing, how much he needs raised, prayer requests, and how to help support him after our lunch today.

The bracelets are $20 each, or you can get them custom engraved for $5 more. That seems expensive, but just think of how often we drop $20 on a coffee and pastry in the morning followed by a lunch at Panera Bread. It adds up when you think that if you just skipped getting coffee for a week, you could buy a bracelet. Or even two. And let’s just be honest, we live in Simi Valley, California. One of the most ridiculously expensive places in North America. We can afford $20 worth of crap, why can’t we afford $20 to help send a brother or a sister to another country?

And just so you’re not worried that I’m gonna go televangelist with the money I get for them, I’ll have monthly updates of how much I raise, and 80% or more will straight into donations to Christar and OMF, while the remainder is used to buy more spoons to make more bracelets. I won’t be keeping any of the money for myself. It’s strictly me giving you a bracelet in return for a donation that 1)supports the missionaries and 2)sustains production. i’ll have pictures of some of the finished products w/ packaging and info card, but here are a few of ones I have made before.
