HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Pattie Belden, manager of the Grand Staff Ministries Boutique in Buhler says they are continuing their mission to educate children in Swaziland with a special effort regarding jewelry at the boutique.
"The Lord put it on my heart to do something really big," Belden said. "We decided that we would build the foundation of our new home in Swaziland. We're thinking that it could be about $20,000."
This started out with over 200 bracelets donated months ago, but there is still a large selection of jewelry and now every piece at the boutique is the same deal.
"Every single piece of jewelry is the same idea, you see what you want to pay and you drop it into the deal and it's just entirely up to you," Belden said. "Now, we know that some people will take advantage. We've had it happen. One lady took several pieces of jewelry and put in a dollar. I looked after she left. Well, later in the day, one lady came in, she said, I don't need any jewelry, but she put in $20. We figured that the Lord's going to direct that. There'll be people take advantage, but there will be more people that will be generous."
Grand Staff is normally open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, but will be closed Tuesday due to the cold.
