The Idea:
A few months ago I was vision planning different fundraising events and campaigns. The idea of a bracelet fundraiser didn’t really cross my mind until I went home that weekend. My brother had his box of paracord sitting out and I was looking at his assortment of colors. I asked if he would make me a bracelet. He took it out to the garage and came back in with a bracelet 30 seconds later. It was simple, adjustable and I liked the idea of choosing a color. Shortly after I decided it might be kind of fun to by 11 different colors of paracord and make a fundraiser out of it. This past weekend 15 of my friends came over and helped me cut, burn, tie, and package 1500+ bracelets.
The Meaning:
Each bracelet represents a different country my team and I will be traveling to throughout our 11 month world race. The bracelets come with an info card that has the country it represents, the month I will be in that country, and my blog web address. Each bracelet will function as prayer bracelets for my team as we serve that month, and the country and people we encounter along the way.
The Hope:
As I travel to each country I am going to take 1 or 2 of each bracelet color with me. I will spend the month praying over the country with you all and praying for each person I meet along the way. By the end of the month I will be giving my bracelet to someone I meet who is making an impact and I will tell them the story behind the bracelets.
