I am in love with DIY projects. I think two of my best gifts are creativity and patience. I could spend hours on those projects and never get bored. That is why I thought I could use this gift to reach some younger girls for Christ. So me and one of my best friends Fjori ( see her picture below :), decided to write a plan and call it Jewelry Fair and DIY workshops. This is what it is about:
Goals:
To reach high school girls for Christ. / To invite them to our youth group./ To plug them into our local church./ Involve some of the girls that are already part of our youth group.
Discription:
We ( some of the girls of our youth group) will get together and work on some jewelry. We will then go and sell them to one or two high schools, which would be our fishing ponds. We will try to choose the high schools where some of our Youth Group girls are attending so we could have a contact person that will make sure to invite them in our youth group and youth events. We will also have 3-4 workshops for all the girls who want do those things on their own. In this way we will be able to build relationships and share with them “Who we are” and “what we do”.
Workshops :
The girls who really want to learn how to do those jewelry by themselves will be invited./ There will be 3-4 workshops in total , 3-4 hours each with breaks in between./ We will have them pay a symbolic price for that just so they can cover part of the expenses but as well to give importance to our event. / There will be a 15 minute session where one of our leader girls will talk about the truths of the bible ( topics are still to be selected but it has to be something related to the event)/They will take place on Saturdays so we can have them stay at our Youth Group as well.
Challenge:
We bought all the supplies and actually tried to meet several times but it has been a challenge till now.
We are not finding the appropriate time since the school hours are different for most of the girls and also because of the private courses they take up.
Prayer requests:
Please, pray for commitment from the youth group girls./ For a certain time that we could meet and that would be good for all of us./ Pray that this project would attract new girls to our youth group and that we would introduce them to the Gospel and Christ!
Thank you! :)
