Beauty in the Ashes

 "I would love to tell you that I changed the world. That I seen people get healed and delivered from bondages, or that the 
multitudes heard the Gospel and gave their hearts to Jesus. 

That has not been my experience at all. 

In fact , I now have a strong opinion about short term missions and how they can be more harmful than good at times."  -- Sarah German 

Hope in Haiti

In a recent post, I shared with you this journey I have begun with Trades of Hope, empowering women out of poverty. What an honor and a privilege it is to be their voice, to represent them and their beautiful products. When we shop, host and Join we help these women to maintain a sustainable income to provide shelter, food, medical care and an education for their families and communities. Today, I am sharing what we are doing in Haiti.

Last May, a team of Compassionate Entrepreneurs went on a Vision Trip to visit the artisans in Haiti. They were able to meet Gina and visit baby Christnelle in the nursery. The experience allows us to see first-hand the direct impact that they are facilitating by selling Trades of Hope products.
