Our Outreach Programs

Broken to Beautiful

Roses and Teacups gives to many charitable causes, but we have two outreach programs which are especially "ours."

Our Broken To Beautiful program focuses on "Women Ascending out of Abuse."  Our sister website, BrokenToBeautiful.org is in its beginning stages.  (This is not really a "family" website.)

Benefit our Broken to Beautiful program.  We donate journals and pens to women's shelters and fund our website.

Roses for Roma

Renee left on January 1, 2008 for her missionary work with the Romani people (Gypsies) of the Czech Republic.

Renee has been drawn to this people and this work for many years, and I am thrilled to be able to play a small role in this venture of love by contributing a per centage of our Roses and Teacups profits towards Renee's ongoing support.

This means that your purchases will contribute to Renee's work with this traditionally poor and rejected people.  If you wish to make additional contributions or wish to find out more, you may contact Renee at:

"The ramshackle collection of low aluminum shacks, with few basic services and only a single dusty lane down the center, formed a village of sorts on the edge of town.  

The children of this shantytown, wearing an assortment of outsized and ragged clothes, came up to the paved courtyard of our building to play~hungry for food (occasionally) and for love and attention (always).  Accustomed to being shunned, these children would hardly have blinked had we shoved them back into their unpaved street and wiped the clinging dirt off our feet.  

But if their physical poverty was obvious, their spiritual poverty was even greater.  God awakened a love for these children in my heart."

The Romani are descendants of a group that migrated out of India hundreds of years ago.  Romani communities exist on nearly every continent.  

One thing that still distinguishes and binds these diverse people is the fact that, wherever they live, they have long been regarded with suspicion and prejudice.  Centuries of harassment culminated in the Great Devouring:  the murder of hundreds of thousands of Romani people by the Nazis.

Yet a light shines in the darkness!

The message of Christ carries undreamed-of hope to the Romani people.
