Our friends at Global Partners in Hope are faithfully leading ministry teams to China four times a year and is reaching women with the gospel there by the hundreds! The women are so eager to hear the gospel and then to learn how to grow as Christians. This past year their women’s director, Peggy, designed “The Story Bracelet” to use to share the gospel. (The five colors represent the five colors of the Wordless Book – a witnessing tool that began in the 1800’s used by Spurgeon and Hudson Taylor.) The bracelet is made using onyx, coral, jade, white jade and pearl beads. It is available here for a suggested donation of $20. All proceeds go for continued ministry in China.

The women in China love this witnessing tool and now women in North America are using it, too. It is a great conversation opener for sharing the gospel. Our Prison to Purpose team is taking 50 “Gospel Story Bracelets” on our missions trip to Haiti. These will be given to believing Haitian women who want to have a tool to share the gospel. So, women in China who make these bracelets will be connecting with Haitian women who want to evangelize their nation.
