"We wanted to give women in our community a new purpose," Missy explains. "And these women come from all walks of life. The ones who just cannot find a job because they've been incarcerated. They could be coming out of homelessness. We also have some who were rescued out of the sex trafficking industry right here in our town."[rsnippet id="3"] From there, Missy set up the Laminin House. A local organization called Project 41, which is devoted to fighting sex trafficking, connects Missy with women who are in need of a job. At the Laminin House, Missy shows the women how to make the necklaces, bracelets, etc. that make up her jewelry line.
"It's a business, but it's also a way to minister to women who need it," Missy says of her jewelery line. "It's been really neat to see some of the transformation of these women."Credit: Youtube The reason Missy chose the name Laminin for her jewelry line is just as inspiring. It's based around the Bible verse from Colossians 1:17 -- "He is in all things and in him all things hold together."

“That, to me, is more than a coincidence. God sent Jesus. That relationship with the holy spirit and how each one of them works within our bodies,” says Missy. “When you become a Christian and you come out of that water, it says in Acts 2 that you receive the gift of the holy spirit … it’s more than just a conscience.”And it's that connection that Missy seeks to represent by through the Laminin jewelry line and ministry!
