Love & Scissors

Last night I met Megan Hawkins, one of the co-founders of Love and Scissors. She is an amazing girl with a passion for sex-trafficked victims and seeing them restored through the love of Jesus.  She and Karlie Johnson are on their way to San Jose, Costa Rica in March to begin a 10 week cosmetology program for women who are trapped in prostitution.  Their desire is to empower women with skills that will provide income for their families and give them the courage to get off the streets.  It will also give Megan and Karlie the chance to build relationships and walk with them down this path of change with encouragement and prayer, giving them hope with the love of Jesus Christ.

I am so encouraged by these ladies who are stepping out in faith, even in the face of uncertain circumstances, to fulfill the calling that God has placed on their hearts.  For more information you can visit their website at loveandscissors.com.

The girls are leaving in 3 weeks and still have a big chunk of money to raise for their living expenses while in Costa Rica and for hair supplies for the program.  Megan is cutting hair at Rudy & Kelly in the Greenbrier mall on Fridays and Saturdays in an effort to raise the necessary funds.  If it's time for a haircut (or even if it's not) give her a call!
