CG girls are you ready???
Mark your calendar for Friday, January 28th - we'll be gathering for our next event and yes....we will be taking the love of God from the pews to the pavement. Details? I'm glad you asked:
For our outreach spotlight at January's event we'll be partnering with a fantastic ministry, My Sister Song. MSS is a faith-based outreach and support group for women in the sex industry in the Detroit Metro area. Their mission is helping women understand their great value to God and their ability to impact others around them for generations to come through their stories.
Girls, check this out...
Did you notice the gift bags the women of MSS were taking with them to the clubs in the video?
Girls, this is how we are going to take God's love from the pews to the pavement...with sister2sister project!
CommonGround will be purchasing a 1000 bags for January's event. Yes, a 1000! Training wheels off, no?
We're asking that you bring in 5 items (dangle earrings, nail polish, lip gloss, lighter, and a piece of individually wrapped chocolate). Now don't be shy...get your churches, youth groups, workplace, soccer moms, involved with this dynamic outreach. A church contacted me last week and said, "We'll be in for 100 of each item." Another church called me today and said, "We're bringing 25 earrings. " Don't you love it?
Churches linking arm-and-arm to show girls who are far from God that they matter.
Thanks Ladies,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to watch MSS in action! God's blessings on your efforts!
I love this idea about showing God's love to these girls. Why the lighter though? Isn't this promoting smoking? I want better for these girls and cannot contribute to their smoking habit. It would be enabling them and their habit. I feel if I truly love them, I can't give them a lighter. Therefore, I will being 4 items to the event or maybe an extra piece of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteHi Nina,
ReplyDeleteThe items we are collecting are items that MSS has requested for the bags. The bags will be a great evangelism tool to let women who are very, very far from God know they are loved. The items in the bag will hopefully be a bridge builder to God's love. CG would never want you to do anything you are personally opposed to so by all means bring the four items! We can't wait to celebrate with you in January!!
I'm very honored to have Gommon Ground partnering with us in this way. If you could hear some of the stories we hear from these industry girls, you would understand why what we are doing (all of us including YOU) is so important! Lives are being changed!! Can't wait till January!!
