Woodlands Church: Trade as One to Hold Fair Trade Market

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (PRNewswire-USNewswire)—Woodlands Church will be joined by Trade as One on Sept. 19 and 20 for a fair trade market. Pastor Kerry and Chris Shook will be interviewing Nathan George, the founder of Trade as One, to learn how the local community can make a difference in communities around the world while transforming individual lives and entire families. The Trade as One fair trade market is an extension of Woodlands’ Missions Ministry, which is led by Chris Shook.

 

Trade as One is a fair trade organization that connects American churchgoers to the working poor all over the world. For three weekends, from September 20th-October 4th, Trade as One will be at Woodlands Church, giving everyone in our community a chance to learn more about how we can use our regular spending to bring hope and restoration to some of the darkest corners of the world. Fair trade allows people to give unique, high-quality gifts to family and friends—while giving hope and income to the poor.
