Happy Sunday! ❤️ This Sunday morning I'm sat in church in total freedom... a full worship team on stage, the room full of people and the Word is being preached with no restriction. As I'm sat here, I can't help but think of our brothers and sisters around the world today who are totally unable to experience that same freedom. I pray I never become so distracted by my own comfort that my heart forgets to keep them in constant prayer.
This past week, more than a dozen Christians were arrested in China's latest house church raid. Keep the church and its members in your prayers 🙏🏼

About 18 months ago we started a little shop that sold women's accessories to women living in war torn areas of Iraq. No one really expected it to do much business, but women are simply amazing. Even during war, they still have an innate desire to be pretty and prepare for weddings, events, etc. Perhaps it brings a bit of normalcy to a horrible situation? IDK....
SALES SKYROCKETED. Little did we know that our small shop would grow SO much SO fast.
When we started, our shop was so small that we didn't even give it a name, but that little nameless shop has grown over 2,000% and is branching out and franchising into different nations - ALL with female management from war torn areas - and I am proud to announce that we NOW have a name...and it is the best name EVER:
MINNA - simply the prettiest name I know.
Someone sent me a picture of one of my favorite spots in the world today.
Simply amazing.
