A Business with the Right Idea!

This is not my typical post on this blog, but I was so impressed with the philosophy and aims of this company that I had to share about them.  When we were at the Lads-to-Leaders convention in Nashville my wife did some shopping at one of the booths connected with the convention.  She told me this is where my sister-in-law had also bought a dress at a previous ladies’ convention.

Amanda found a dress she liked that she made look so beautiful on Easter.  Amanda picked up one of their cards and I read about their mission.

The business is called “The Pearly Peacock”.  They describe themselves as “an affordable online store, that specializes in finding MODEST clothing with a trendy flair.”

Isn’t that awesome!!  In a day and age where ladies and girls have to search hard to find modest clothing, here is a Christian retailer seeking to offer such.  The dresses and clothes are very nice and affordable.  I couldn’t believe how cheap my wife’s dress was.  The cloths are stylish and modest.  Such a anomaly to everything else we see in the world.

But it gets better.  The card continued by saying, “Our primary goal at “The Pearly Peacock” is to glorify God and share the good news about Jesus with those we serve.”  The company also believes in giving back to their community with a portion of the profit going to the Nashville Inner City youth ministry.

The booth stayed busy throughout the convention and I am told sold lots of clothing.

Interestingly enough I was talking to a missionary friend at the convention and he was saying this is becoming a trend in evangelism to use businesses to share the gospel.  I know the lines may be blurry at times, but I believe we need more Christian businesses with a counter-cultural agenda and goal of glorifying Christ.

Let me encourage you to check out “The Pearly Peacock” the next time you are looking for ladies’ clothing.  You can find them on the web at www.pearlypeacock.com and also like their page on Facebook.  I have no association with their owner Emily Hayes, but I appreciate what she is trying to do!
