Free up your wardrobe
A couple of days ago, God told me to go and see a lady who is a friend of a friend. I wasn’t sure why.
She is the manager of a charity out in Uganda. (Christian Restoration Ministries International)
She told me some INCREDIBLE stories of what God is doing out there. One of the projects that really touched my heart was called ‘Trade the Dress.’
Trade the Dress is a micro finance project set up to create a sustainable living for those involved. It gives UK brides the opportunity to give their wedding dress to the charity for use out in Uganda not only giving an African bride an unforgettable day, but also providing regular financial support for CRMI.
How does it work?
Well most UK brides buy their wedding dress. It then sits in their wardrobe taking up space but is never worn again. That dress not only has the potential to make someone’s dreams come true, but also to finance whole families. How?
Well that dress will be hired out, enabling a local family to make a sustainable living, and will bring happiness time and time again. The English bride will also receive a picture of an African bride wearing their dress as a memory of what a blessing that dress has become!
I know what I am going to do with my wedding dress! If you know anyone with a beautiful dress hanging in their wardrobe, please check out the CRMI website for details of how you can change someone’s life today!
Thank you
