Jesus Justice Jazz and Bead for Life at Luther

November 2nd, 2009 at 2:30 am

On October 11, the Luther College ONE Chapter teamed with official ONE Campaign partner Bead for Life and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) for the Jesus Justice Jazz Tour concert held at Luther.

At the events, the bands spoke to high school and college students about extreme poverty and preventable disease. Students that attended were able to raise money for the ELCA World Hunger Appeal to help meet the Change the World: 2009 Lutheran Youth Challenge of raising $1 million.

We were able to raise over $500 for Bead for Life. We did this by tabling at the Jesus Justice Jazz Concert and October 12-14 outside of the cafeteria during dinner. Students were amazed with the craftsmanship of the jewelry that women make by hand in Uganda.

Partnering with Bead for Life is a great opportunity for chapters to collaborate with an official ONE partner and help support the work they are doing!
