GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!

We have another AWESOME GiveAway!!!

This one truly touches my heart!

A very thoughtful and caring, anonymous person made
a donation to purchase this beautiful
piece for me to GIVE one of you!!

Have you ever heard of:


(borrowed from the heartofthebride.org website)


or




If you have, then you already know about what a great work they are doing
for Orphans internationally.

And even so, it's always great to be reminded so we
don't forget those in need.

Here is a bit of information from the website:
Over a decade ago, our family began taking small steps to share directly with others who were helping the needy in struggling places around the world. We had no idea where those small steps would lead. Today Heart of the Bride is providing for hundreds of orphans, street kids, and vulnerable women through personal relationships. We are an international family, and we continue to grow through relationships. We meet new partners through missionaries and through our existing global partners. We meet new contributors through those who are already participating in this work. We want to continue to grow, but we are committed to expand with a focus on relationship. You are welcomed to join our family. So take a look around and get to know the people we are helping. HOB Ministries at a Glance would be the best place to take your first step, and if you want to know more, feel free to contact us directly.  Tony Gibson  -  Founder
HOB At A Glance -
Heart of the Bride was established in 1998 as a non-profit organization dedicated to helping provide for the needs of orphans around the world. Our primary mission is to Share From Our Abundance With Those In Greatest Need.
We provide Loving Homes, Education, Discipleship, and Economic Opportunities for over 400 orphans in Haiti, Kenya, Uganda, Ukraine, and Zambia.
What a mission, right?  That is why getting the news out about their ministry to so important.  We can support them many ways but the one I am pointing out today is the Back to Africa Jewelry they sell to support this mission.

  5. Hi Guys! I haven't ever bought from them but Shauna had bought us some jewelry from a party that Tanya had a while back, a back to Africa party. It's a bracelet that has a bunch of colors and I can wear it with practically anything!

  6. I haven't heard of them before. They do have beautiful pieces and a low prices. It makes me wonder how much they actual make to pass on to the ministry. I guess in some cases a little goes a long way.

    I was reading a book about missions in other countries. One of the national missionaries came to the states for sponsored schooling or something like that. The thing that shocked him the most was how much money we spent on buildings (church), houses and furniture and how far that same money could go in reaching lost souls. He simply couldn't understand the waste and willingness to spend on such unnecessary things for the eternity of a soul. It makes one think.

  7. I hear you Steph! From what I understand these pieces are made by the people of Africa and they are paid to do so. This is a local group from Niceville. They sell these pieces and the money is used for this ministry. It is a great way for some to contribute and a way to spread the word about Heart of the Bride. Everytime someone sees a piece it's an opportunity to share the needs of others!!

  8. amen steph! i've visited churches, looked at their fancy chandeliers and thought, "well that's money that could've went to building a fresh water well in a third world country somewhere in the world, that could've helped the poor and needy, and furthered Christ's kingdom." our culture is so materialistic, even our churches.

    i've never bought jewelry from them. they are beautiful!

  10. I saw the jewelry locally and they are beautiful! I am planning a trip to the store soon so I can really take a look and find the piece that speaks most to me. Jewelry is so personal and when it is made with so much hope, it will mean ever so much! Sharon Mikus
