Special Giveaway today from Jesus’ Economy – an Organization bringing Holistic Change Worldwide!

Happy Monday Friends!

Today we are having an incredibly special give – away from an organization called Jesus’ Economy. 

Jesus’ Economy has graciously agreed to giveaway one of these adorable purses to one Clarity with Charity reader.  All you need to do to enter is sign up for their newsletter at the end of this post.  KEEP READING for your chance to win!

  Ok y’all…is this not one of the cutest bags ever!  I love all the color which makes it stand out from a neutral purse, but the colors blend seamlessly with all kinds of outfits.  I also love that the bag says “peace” on it, as a reminder to pray for those who made it – women from a trade school in Haiti, who are being transformed by the gospel and the opportunity to learn a trade.

Empowering women through the gospel and the marketing of goods in Haiti, is just one of the many ways that Jesus’ Economy is changing lives around the world.

John Barry, the founder and CEO of Jesus’ Economy, shares from his heart today about the trans formative work that Jesus’ Economy is doing around the world.

What is the vision and purpose of Jesus’ Economy?

How did Jesus’ Economy begin?

How is Jesus’ Economy  transforming lives?

Everyday the efforts of Jesus’ Economy are part of a larger life transformation process. Economy is in our name because everything we do is part of a cycle of empowering people to lift themselves out of poverty.

Today, we have fair trade partnerships in Zambia, Haiti, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya. By buying fair trade products from artisans in those countries, often through the cooperatives or organizations the artisans partner with, we are able to help fund everything from education, to orphan care, to basic business training. And this is in addition to the artisan making a profit and us then reinvesting any additional profit on our end into microloans, church grants, the meeting of basic needs, and a little bit into our ongoing operations.

We’re working with a start-up entrepreneur in Kenya, named Alvin, who wants to get out of the cattle business because he isn’t making enough to support his employees. Through our partnership with Alvin and his company, he has been able to give work to several bead-workers and leather workers. At fair wages, they’re creating sandals, which are gorgeous, and available for purchase on our website.

The other incredible thing about Alvin is that he is actively engaged in empowering women in his community to escape (or overcome) female genital mutilation and forced early marriages. Through various efforts, including being the program coordinator of a local non-profit, Alvin is helping young women continue their education and be independent.

I hope you have been  inspired and encouraged today by this incredible organization!  If you would like to enter to win the purse all you have to do is sign up for their newsletter, where you will hear even more encouraging stories of what God is doing in the nations of the world!  Entries will be received through this Friday, January 17th, at 5 p.m. west coast time, so be sure to enter!!!
