BIRMINGHAM — WorldCrafts, the global fair trade division of Woman’s Missionary Union, has launched an initiative to support the work of the Baptist Coalition for Children and Families, encompassing Baptist children’s ministries in 19 states, including the Alabama Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries.
Through the initiative, churches or individuals can support the estimated 430,000 at-risk children in foster care in the U.S. while also providing life-sustaining work for overseas artisans and their families affiliated with WorldCrafts in 24 countries.
Participating churches or individuals can register to host a one-month online WorldCrafts benefit featuring dozens of artisan-produced products. Twenty percent of all sales generated by the benefit will go directly to the host’s selected Baptist children and family ministry.
More information about the initiative, including online registration and a catalog of artisans’ products, is available at www.worldcrafts.org. (BP)
