I'm not referring to the precious gemstone, but a group of 'precious gems' who commit their finances to assisting others in need. The Salvation Army Box Hill's SAPPHIRE group stands for Salvation Army People Providing Help In Real Emergencies, and is under the inspired leadership of James and Jan Allen.
Tonight we attended the SAPPHIRE Trivia Night. The event was full of fun, interesting facts and good fellowship. We weren't on the winning team, however, we did contribute toward enabling SAPPHIRE to achieve their aim of raising much-needed funds for their current project that provides opportunities for disadvantaged women from Congo (Kinshasa) to make positive life changes.
We're always winners when we invest in the lives of others!
Proverbs 11:25 (MSG) ~ "The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped."
