Subscribe to Presence and Impact: Edenmade

We all love a cherished gift.  One that shows us our value, that we are truly seen and known.  One that reminds us we are special and loved.  A gift like that stays in our memory, sometimes long after it is gone, sparking something deep inside us.
 

A gift is the primary way EdenMade has established presence in adult entertainment clubs throughout the city.  Our team puts a lot of thought and intention into the gift bags we give to women working at the clubs because often, gift bags create an open door for further connection with women. In each of our gift bags we include special and fun items women have shared that they enjoy such as make up, heel insole pads, and self-care products. We also include a handwritten note of love and encouragement. We spend a lot of time in prayer and worship while writing these handwritten notes as our desire is to speak words of love, identity, value, and purpose - words that God speaks to us. Women have shared many times that they really appreciate the gift bags and the items we include, and they have consistently mentioned that their favorite part of the gift bags are the handwritten notes inside.

We saw how much these notes meant to the women when we went into the club this January. When we entered the dressing room, we were so moved to see that the women had taken the encouragement notes we gave to them in December's gift bags and taped them onto the dressing room mirror. Women have shared that the handwritten note is the first thing they reach for when opening the gift bags. Women have opened their lockers to show the notes they have received taped inside saying, "I read these notes before every shift." When you join us in providing these gift bags to women working in the club, you participate in speaking words of life to them - words that impact their hearts and minds before every shift and beyond.

We know that 89% of women working in the clubs would leave if they thought they had other means for survival. We know that 65% of women working in strip clubs identify as victims of sexual exploitation. And we know that as many as 95% of these women have a history of childhood sexual abuse (Source: Treasures). 

But a gift can, and does spark change for women. When you subscribe at the $50/month level, you’re investing in the kind of presence and impact a gift bag can make!
