Hey Friends,
I want to share about what Sarah and I have been doing since we stepped down from leading Haven. It’s been a full six months – took a road trip, visited some friends and went to the gym a little more. Just a little more.
After much prayer and reflection, we’ve started a social enterprise designing baby blankets that change the lives of untouchable caste women in India. Our mission is to design baby blankets that are produced by Dalit [untouchable] women, providing a pathway for a sustainable living and relevant job training. The goal is to sell the blankets in the United States and develop a long-term trading relationship that will both produce a beautiful product and empower under-resourced people groups.
In short, we’re trying to do stuff we love and change the world while we’re doing it.
We’ve been working on it for a few months already and are making steady movement towards bringing the blanket to market. We’re partnering with our friends at Bible Faith Mission in South India who lead a revolutionary ministry empowering Dalits through education, social reform and local church-planting.
There’s more to share. But one thing we’re looking for are friends who’ll come along for the journey. Not just investors or distant sympathizers. But people who will offer whatever they have to love and equip a people that have been marginalized for generations. It’s less about what you have or more about the heart to give, love and serve. And finding ways to do it together.
ONE THING YOU CAN DO FOR US NOW is to go to the Ellie Fun Day Facebook page and “LIKE” it – we’re ramping up for promotionals and pre-orders and it’ll help us stay connected. You can also share the EFD Facebook link on your page and give us a little pub. We need as many “likes” as we can get – it’s very much appreciated.
Contact me if you want to hear more about it, read a business plan or just say, “I want to be a part of it, but I don’t know what to do.” We can figure it out and work together.
Thanks friends and blessings to you.
