As you know, God has been very good to GEMS throughout the years. By His grace, we have been able to increase the number of active clubs in North America, build The Esther School in Zambia, create a GEMS International Ministry, and continue growing GEMS Clubs around the world. Due to the rapid growth of both our international and urban ministries, we must increase our budget. One way is to host a new fundraiser. Therefore, on November 22, 2013, GEMS will be hosting its first online auction!
Since we teach our girls to be bold and speak up for Jesus Christ, the tagline for our auction is BID OUTLOUD! Through bidding, people from all over the continent can take a stand by supporting the GEMS ministry.
We believe this auction will be very successful for GEMS, but we need your help in making it happen. Since bids will be coming from all over North America, we need items and services to be donated from many different locations. The GEMS staff cannot personally obtain donations from every area, so we need one person in each area to be an auction committee member and to secure 15 items or services from that area to be used in the auction.
We in WA state are Area 3 and we are still looking for this person. There is a packet of information available with all the instructions needed to secure these items for the GEMS online auction. Please contact Tami Cleveringa or Julie Ball if you are interested in helping out or if you know someone we can contact to ask to help GEMS in this way.
