WAR Int'l Party at LIFT Nov. 16

Shopping WAR Int'l Jewerly at LIFT

 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

Beautiful clean jewelry gave a positive light to the dark evil of human trafficking.

The November 16 LIFT event sparkled with WAR Int’l jewelry and began with the committee reading “Wonderful Women”. We read about the amazing things that women can do. But we ended the reading by saying, “If there is one flaw about women: They forget how much they’re worth.”

Lori led us in prayer and a time of reflecting on God’s word. Read her devotional below. We had yummy snacks. Check out the Blueberry Jello Salad recipe here.

Thanks Janessa for sharing WAR International with us. The video was eye opening. We are not immune to the evils of sexual abuse. Tears were shed as two ladies hugged while one shared the pain their family has dealt with recently.
I’m glad the LIFT ladies could be there for you!

YOU all have WORTH.

 LIFT purchases help support a Woman At Risk for 3 Months.
You were God's Hands and Feet!

YOU Have WORTH

We have worth in the Master's Hands
 “YOU Have WORTH”

Lori began by reading “The Touch of the Master’s Hand” about an old, seemingly worthless violin being sold at a high price. Part of the reading said,
“Now you know many a man with a life out of tune is battered and scarred with sin And he's auctioned cheap to a thankless world, much like that old violin. Then the Master comes, and the foolish crowd. They never understand The worth of a soul and the change that is wrought, Just by one touch of THE MASTER'S HAND.”

• Take time to care and show someone worth.
• We have no idea the potential that someone has (but God does).
• There was a price paid for our soul. So, therefore there is worth to YOUR soul.
