Operation Orange Ribbon
If one part suffers, all parts suffer with it, If one part is honored, all parts are glad. 1 Corinthians 12:26
The following is an explanation of Operation Orange Ribbon by its Founder Jesse French:
"Many people are frustrated about the current events and feel helpless. They want to do something but don't know how or what. This program gives them an opportunity to actually do something and influence others by wearing the ribbon. When we started, I can't tell you how many people said, "It's about time someone did something". What we are doing may seem like a small effort, but in just five months we have over 11,000 people specifically praying for our Christian brothers and sisters with 36 different churches from Ohio to Florida.
We chose the color of orange because that is the color of the jumpsuits worn by the executed Christians. If we get enough people behind the movement wearing orange ribbons or wristbands, our leaders will notice and finally stand up and take bold action to help relieve the persecution and suffering.
We [Operation Orange Ribbon] are not a fund raising organization. Our mission is to raise awareness of the atrocities being suffered by our Christian brothers and sisters and to raise them in prayer, locally and nationally."
The First Baptist Church of Hardeeville is honored to be a part of this mission. We not only pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Christ, but wear our orange ribbons and wrist bands and joyfully tell others about this wonderful mission.
