When Jesus
Wears Makeup:
A Makeup Ministry
What?
One of the things I'm working on in my life is breaking binaries. Let's be real, all ministry happens in this country in a business kind of way. There needs to be income to pay bills, pay for Pastors to live and eat, and to cover expenses. People give money to the ministry, and the ministries run fundraisers. Both people and ministries operate in a capitalistic world. When I needed a way to feed my family while doing ministry (there is an awesome event called Friday Night Backyard Bible Study happening right now), I figured I needed a flexible schedule, and something where I get to be in charge of my own life as much as possible to be as creative as possible. I am helping people feel beautiful and confident through Mary Kay.
Think of the possibilities!. I'll learn to do makeup. I'll throw makeover parties for people who are trans to feel beautiful and fully made in the image of God. I'm also planning to offer to do makeup for people just before job interviews for no cost. Finally, for your wedding, I'll be able to do your makeup, do Reiki on you to calm your nerves, and then perform the ceremony. Another blog post will share the story about how God brought me this opportunity. There are so many thoughts in my head about how this is a ministry, but the most important one is that my money is going where my mouth is. Please read this post about the Ministry plan. Time to break down the barriers to creative ministry and the clear distinctions between business and ministry. Even the Apostle Paul was a tentmaker (see Acts 18:1-4) to fund his missionary activities. Now, if you want to support my work WITHOUT buying makeup from me, then you can do so here, and you can pay for several items to help your congregation or pastoral ministry in my store.
