It's fall and that means Craft fairs! I use craft fairs to help me fundraise for my mission trips. I do not do many and I am hoping to be able to participate in 2 this year. I love doing crafts and this gives me an avenue to show off and sell my "goods".
I make bracelets and essential oil roller balls. (see pictures above). But this year, I learned a new craft, dog necklaces. I have a bougie dog and thought that I can't be the only one. So I made some beaded and paracord doggie necklaces. Hopefully, everyone will like them!
And I can't forget PICKLES! I always have pickles since that is my biggest fundraiser I do. I do not have many jars left from my pickle making season, but what I have left, they will be there for sale! They are always a favorite.
Whatever you are called for, just know you can do it! I save money throughout the year but also raise funds to help. Use your gifts you have to help you raise funds for your mission. Don't be afraid to do something. Even though I am not a "professional" crafter, I get out there. This opens the door and gives me the opportunity to talk about what I do, what my team is doing and to tell the stories of the people that we help and touch.
So get out there! Dig deep for that courage to go and do!
1 Peter 4:10: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's varied grace".
Romans 12:6: "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us".
Blessings to all,
