Every gift from JesusEconomy.org comes with a story to share ... of lives being transformed through craft, culture, and a new type of commerce.
You can make the world better, simply with a smart shopping choice.
When we launched the Jesus' Economy Fair Trade Shop in November 2013, we had a vision of a world made better through a new type of commerce. "What if there was a place I could shop that reinvested every last dollar into lifting up the impoverished?" Our in-house slogan became, "Make it so that not only when I give, but also when I shop, I can help others."
That vision is now real. Every dollar spent on JesusEconomy.org has transformed the lives of artisans and fueled a movement of creating jobs and churches in the developing world.
Jesus' Economy reinvests every last dollar into the movement of creating jobs and churches. This is a story of innovating to break the cycle of poverty. We're here to empower you to be part of a better story.
Instead of telling your sister Sally how you stood in line for two hours and fought the crowds to get "the last one," tell her how you picked out a story-filled gift especially for her. Share how your purchase helped a woman in a developing country build her business and community.
With Jesus' Economy, you know the story of the person who crafted your gift.
Instead of telling your brother Bill how you managed to score that 'crazy' deal on something you know will break in a week, explain how nearly every cheap deal costs someone, somewhere. 'Cheap' often requires cheap (exploited) labor. That's why you decided instead to buy a high-quality, fair trade product. You purchased a beautiful creation by an artist whose craft preserves a long-passed down cultural tradition.
With Jesus' Economy, you can share a unique craft from another culture.
There are gifts for everyone on your list on JesusEconomy.org. And these gifts tell a beautiful story.
