What is Sister Bridge?
What is Sister Bridge?
Sister Bridge exists to connect women around the world in prayerful partnership, by providing an opportunity for women in the U.S. to purchase hand made items from women in developing nations. Currently, we offer African cloth bags and home decor, Indonesian beaded jewelry and ornaments, Cambodian baby quilts, and card sets from India.
100% of the funds goes directly to the women/artists, through specific missions organizations that Sister Bridge has partnered with. By purchasing, wearing, and selling these products, we are standing with our sisters in remembrance, support, and love.
The Need
Women around the world have the unique potential to be many things: wives, mothers, grandmothers, artists, musicians, scientists, athletes...most importantly, they have the potential to understand that they were created by a loving God who cares deeply for them. But sadly, many of the women that carry this potential are never given the opportunity to rise above the horrific circumstances they face.
Just imagine for a moment that you were a woman whose life has been changed by just one of these situations:
- The AIDS crisis, taking loved ones, writing your death sentence.
- Human trafficking, putting you and your daughters in a living nightmare.
- Becoming a widow, leaving you with no rights, being forced off of your property.
- Being sold into slavery, children in tow, with debts that can never be re-paid.
- Extreme poverty, considered less than human, daily life in a slum.
Reaching Our Sisters
When our heart breaks for the least of these, when we really stop to listen and really stop to see, the hardest step in the journey has already been taken. Becoming conscious. Allowing brokenness. God has our attention and now we can join Him in His work to bring light, salvation, joy, and hope to the nations.
There are many avenues God is calling His people down, all for this one purpose, and we must each individually hear His voice for our specific role. To pray. To give. To go. Where? When? How? Sometimes when we ask these questions, the answer is simply to join in on someone else’s great idea! That is what Sister Bridge is all about: supporting the great ministry these four missionary organizations are already doing.
What Sister Bridge Does
We simply order the products, book parties from November 1st through December 15th, and bring these beautiful, handmade and signed crafts to show friends and family. We have cards, jewelry, bags, and quilts...and much more, with prices ranging from $4 to about $40. It is our desire that those who purchase the items, and those who receive these items as gifts, will partner in prayer with the woman who made them. Having items like this in our homes and daily lives increases our attention to the deepest desire of God’s heart: That ALL may know Him, and His great love shown through His Son.
