Promote the cause

The beautiful beadwork produced by most of the Christian brothers imprisoned in Egypt, can be used to catch the attention of friends and fellow churchgoers, and help promote the cause.

Beadwork

Each beadwork item is individually handcrafted using exquisite glass bugle beads. The smaller items (such as key rings, necklaces and pen covers) may take several hours each to produce, but the beautiful evening purses, with lining and inside pockets,  take four or five days! The brothers there all work together now, sharing their talents, and using the income derived from the sale of beadwork to help supply their daily needs and put toward the payment of their fines, after setting aside a portion for those who are unable to work due to illness or have some special need. 

We have several TFO partners around the United States who have stocks of the beadwork and can help supply orders and give ideas and help on using it to promote the ministry. We also send brochures about the ministry that can be photocopied, small cards to include with the beadwork to tell about the ministry, and can help with resources for raffles, promotional events and church presentations.

Here are some more photos showing some of the variety of beadwork items available.

Devotional Journal

Some of the inmates also make hand decorated greetings cards and have even painted oil canvases. One of our partners has recently published a beautiful hardback journal which includes her poetry and examples of the artwork on the front and back covers. These beautiful drawings were done by Tito Momen, one of the inmates we have helped in Egypt, who recently was released and returned to Africa. The journal has hundreds of thick parchment pages, with inspirational poems scattered throughout the book. It makes a very special gift, while at the same time, helping to promote the cause of these imprisoned brothers. A portion of the royalty from the book sales is also given to Tito.

The journal is entitled "Where Peace Was Waiting" by Joan Yvonne, and is available from www.amazonbooks.com
