An Update on the Dream of Justice Vestal Family Tour
It’s been a few weeks since the Vestals left on the Dream of Justice Tour, and they have met with some great responses on the road. They have had 18 speaking engagements, and found 25 new child sponsors. With six more meetings to go, Joel Vestal is enthusiastic about what lies ahead.
God’s Kingdom is about relationship,” he says, “Relationship with HIM and with other people. It has been amazing to establish new relationships and nurture old ones.” With meetings in churches and homes throughout the visited states, the Vestals have been able to talk to people one-on-one about the work of ServLife. Joel recalls Proverbs 31:9, “Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.. That’s what this tour is about,” he says, “It’s about changing the world one life at a time.”
The ServLife Store has been virtually sold out during the days on the road, with people in each location buying more products. “We actually had to have more products shipped in from Nepal,” Joel says. The ServLife store products are handmade by survivors of human trafficking, women who are now able to independently earn their own living through the Beauty for Ashes program.
The ServLife photography, too, has been a success as people have been purchasing framed images to put in their homes and offices as a reminder to pray for ServLife’s work going on around the world.
Our Tour has been so fulfilling and encouraging as we meet many people who care about God’s work in the world through ServLife,” Joel states, “Thank you for your prayers and emails.”
Continue to pray for the rest of their trip and the seeds planted in the hearts of God’s people.
