Christian Products Expo

It's 7am in Destin, FL and I'm drinking my coffee and getting ready to drive over to the convention center for Day 1 of the Christian Products Expo. About 200 Christian Retailers are here to shop for their spring & summer products for their book and gift stores. This will be Alegria's 5th time to exhibit at this show and we have some loyal customers here. I'm praying today that we will have 10 new stores place their first orders with us today and tomorrow, and that at least 10 of our 30 accounts will reorder with us here also. (some have already ordered ahead of time for spring, and some tried us and their customers just didn't purchase - we're not for every store.) What this would mean for Alegria and our artisans: this puts us closer to the amount of savings we need to take the step to hire another artisan.  We are 1 month into our 30 by 2030 goal, and to start on track for this, we need to hire a new artisan by mid March.  It's a big goal - but Joy-Creators, God is big! And His love for His daughters in Honduras is big. We have a Faith Home sister who needs a job right now. I'm asking for God to mightily use these warriors of the Faith to share our story and our jewelry so that her job can be created and our other artisans' jobs can be safe and secure.

Would you join me today in praying for this little 5x10 booth in booth #506, the Mercy Marketplace? Pray that it is a successful Day 1 and our most successful CPE yet!
