This coming weekend is one of our church's local crusade known as the Harvest Crusade.
In 1990, Pastor Greg Laurie began holding large-scale public evangelistic events through Harvest Ministries. Since then, more 4,240,000 people have attended Harvest events around the United States, Australia and New Zealand. More importantly, more than 353,300 people have made registered professions of faith through these outreaches.
We are very excited to be apart of this ministry and reach out to others. We have decided to become Start Friends at Harvest. A start friend commits to taking a new believer further down the road into their faith.
When I became a new believer, I didn't have ANY christian friends. My friends were into partying all the time and it would have been really easy for me to slide back into that lifestyle. But then I met my good friend Michelle. She was incredibly supportive and helped to guide me through my walk. I would like to be that friend for someone else.
I know that whom ever the lord would like me to befriend is going to have some days that are filled with difficulties. So I've created this encouragement box that I'll fill with uplifting hand made cards. Although the cards will be dedicated to someone else, I'm dedicating this box to myself. I'll leave it on my desk as a daily reminder to encourage others in the name of the lord.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."I'm entering this project into:

Ahhh... you've got me all teared up right while I was doing my makeup.
I love you girl and I think you are so incredibly amazing AND God on you, dang you've never looked so good!
Thank you for your love and friendship. Even though we don't live close anymore, you remain close to my heart, my friend and sister!
This is the most adorable project. Thanks so very much for sharing it with us at Cricut Cardz.
Blessings, Jeri
Wow, this is fabulous!
You did a great job with this card box ! Love it ! Wonderful idea with the encouragement hand made cards :-)The day I had decided to become religion teacher (catechist)my "friends" told me that I had to choose between them and God. It didn´t even take me a second to let them go. I was awfully sad to lose all my friends in this way and I didn´t know what would expect me on this walk with and for God, but I´ve never regretted my decision.I´m glad to hear that you also walk on this way and that you have friends that support you. Praise the Lord for this.
WOW, that is nice!
