Better than charity…EMPOWER HER TODAY!






My friend is a makeup artist in strip clubs…she has been working in these clubs for several years and about 2 years ago, she surrendered to the gentle and powerful force calling her name…Her Creator, Her Father in Heaven…Jesus! In the last 2 years, the girls who sit in her make-up chair are blown away by what God has done in her life and the LOVE and TRUTH of Jesus that is over flowing onto them. Most of them call her "Mom" because she is the only consistent and positive person in their life. Girls are going to church with her, asking to study the bible with her, and confessing they NEED freedom from addictions, pimps, etc. I am so thankful God brought her into my life this year; she is such an encouragement to me!

She wasn't "trained" to "minister" to these women, she is just being herself...the woman God created her to be...with the personality God gave her…using her profession to transform lives and make a difference in this world! She is just simply giving away, what God has given her!!!!!!

She is a single mom, and struggling to make ends meet financially right now. She could easily quit working in the clubs and go get a different job to make more money. But God has obviously called her and been preparing her to help transform lives in these strip clubs as a make-up artist! And if we all pull our money together, we can gift her with a fully loaded makeup kit…currently her kit is in a very sad condition, b/c she does not make much money in teh clubs, and she is nearing the end of all of her product.

With this makeup kit she can continue to make a difference in the strip clubs, AND also she will be able to grow her business as a makeup artist, getting jobs as a makeup artisit at weddings, etc. which pays a lot more money. 
…Which EMPOWERS her to provide for her and her daughter! This is so much BETTER than charity, it is an investment in her business and the transformation in NUMEROUS lives!

Do you want to help me invest in her business, her family and God's calling on her life and in these strip clubs?

My goal is to help her raise $2,000 in MAC makeup gift cards, by the end of this month. I got us started with a $250 gift card, and I posted on Facebook last week, and raised $900, so far…only $850 left to go!  So we just need 2 people to donate $250, 2 people to donate $100, 2 person to donate $50, and two people to donate $25.

And if we want to go above and beyond, let's not stop there, she could use gas cards, Wal-Mart cards, etc. She has needed new tires for a year now, she and her daughter both need to go to the dentist, etc, etc. The ice storm caused her to miss out on 1/4 of her monthly income last week, so a hard financial situation is even worse now. Email me directly at mkw304@gmail.com if you have questions or want to hear more about her, her work or help her in another way.

It is EASY and FAST to send her a gift card online:
Click on: "gift cards" and then "e-gift cards"
Email the card directly to her: alabastercloister@gmail.com
Use "alabastercloister" as her "name" in the "to" field

Please PRAY and BELIEVE with me that we can meet this goal, this month and truly invest in and be a part of transforming the lives of so many! 

Who can you send this to who would be interested in supporting this woman?
Please forward it on! 


The pictures from above are some of my friend's work. 

Here is her work station. 
She writes encouraging quotes on the mirror.
The book is a Christian Counseling book. 

These 2 pictures show you the new brush and products she was able to buy when I sent her the $250 gift card. Look at the difference between old nad new brush. And the new color pallet she can use in clubs, but especially at weddings for future jobs.
