Hello there friends!
Bronwyn Jayde here today to share with you about a special Smile Project Outreach that we did over the holidays. :) I asked Olivia if we could do something special for strangers this Christmas to remind them how loved they are by God. I had the idea that we could make little goodie bags with a Gospel tract in them. So, we bought ten $5 Starbucks gift cards and I put them in little bags with some scrunchies, a tea bag, a Gospel tract, and a little note from TSP. I was able to hand them out over the holiday season to ten ladies and each lady I gave a bag to was THRILLED! One lady I gave a bag to had just gotten in her car after getting off the bus. I approached her car, tapped on the window and told her that I had a little gift for her. She was so surprised and told me that she had been having a really rough day. She said, “girl, you just MADE my day,” with a big smile. I told her that it wasn’t just from me, it was from a ministry that I am a part of called “The Smile Project.” She laughed and said, “Well, you all sure made me smile.” :) I am so thankful that we were able to brighten her day and the other ladies as well! “Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers…” Hebrews 13:1-2 (NIV) Let’s pray for each one of the people who received a goodie bag. Let’s pray that they will know just how much God loves them and cares for them and that they will put their trust in Him as their Lord & Savior. Great things God has done and will continue to do.

I am very pleased to share with you all about our November Smile Project today!
This project was for two beautiful girls named Natalie and Bella who were involved in a horrible car accident. As you can see above, we had a wonderful turnout of love and encouragement for them! They were very excited to receive it, and were blessed and encouraged by each of your kind words and the Scripture's you shared. Please remember them in your prayers as they continue in their journey of healing and recovery. Every month it makes me so happy to see what God has allowed us to accomplish for His Kingdom. He works through people like you and me to bring His hope and encouragement to those who need it most. What a honor! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each of you who participated this time around. Great things God has done and will continue to do. |
