As before, the Scarlet Cord event featured a silent auction as well as beautiful and delicious desserts, all items being donated by local businesses and individuals. Several Christ Community Chapel members were among the donors of desserts and auctioned items.
And also as before, attendees witnessed first hand women whose lives have been transformed by the Gospel and helped by Rahab Ministries. Their testimonies were given not in speeches, but by posters that each held up. The first side of the poster was the woman’s self-description prior to meeting Christ, and the other side described the woman’s new life in Christ. Here are some examples of these brief, but powerful visual testimonies. These transformed women agree with the Apostle Paul, who proclaimed, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God to save….” And God’s saving power was very evident in the joyous celebration of their new lives at the event.
Rahab Ministries is a street outreach to Akron women who are trapped in a lifestyle of prostitution, addiction and other criminal activities. Volunteers meet these captive women on the streets and in prisons, extending the love and forgiveness of Christ Jesus to them, and assuring them they do not have to continue in bondage. There are ongoing opportunities for CCC members to help Rahab Ministries. To learn more about what you can do to help, please contact CCC Local Outreach Coordinators Michael and Barbara Ammirati.
"And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8
