Mary Kay Party / Creative Outreach
Hello fellow Greek ministry pioneers,
When I was at Penn State University my Bible study did an outreach to help grow our
Bible study and introduce their friends to the gospel. This is a great easy outreach! We all
met at a staff persons house and had a Mary Kay beauty consultant do a makeup party for
us. It was great for the girls to get away from campus, eat good food, (DESSERT!) and play
with makeup. Then before the women ordered info, I gave a quick talk on how beauty is
from the inside, out. Here is the talk. – Alice Walters

Thank you all for coming to our Mary Kay party – thank Kim. We will have time to
order stuff after I say I few words. One of our hopes in having this party was for the
members of our Bible study to have the opportunity bring their friends to meet us –
have a fun time with us- and to check us out. Our Theme ‘ Beauty from the inside out’
was purposely used because we wanted to share with all of you what makes us beautiful
from the inside.
Makeup does a wonderful job of making us beautiful from the outside. Cover up is the
greatest invention ever. It fabulously covers up our blemishes. That pattern though, of
covering up our blemishes – can be taken to other areas of our life. When there is
pain or hurt – or disappointment - unfulliment with life (which we all experience) often
times we try to take cover-up to hide those things up in our heart. I know things I use
is busyness – I’m too busy to feel the hurt, or friends – or boys – or even food. But the
truth is, that these things can work they are just are temporary. Just like cover-up it
washes off – the blemish is still there. Our solutions fade away too.
One reason why we wanted to invite you… Our Bible study believes that the only way
to completely heal those blemishes and to bring lasting inner beauty to our lives is
through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
1 Sam 16:7 “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”.
God wants your heart to be connected to His. The Bible is very clear on how one can
do this
- God loves us. He loves us so much and he made us.
Pslam 139 “For you created me my inmost being….I praise you because I am
fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful I know that full well.
- We are imperfect people. No matter how hard we try – we can’t be perfect. (no
matter how much makeup we use we cannot attain Cindy Crawford beauty).
That is actually what sin means – missing the mark of perfection.
Because God is holy – he cannot mix with sinful people. Like Oil and water… Because
God loves us so much he made a way for us to be in an intimate relationship with him.
Through his son – Jesus. Because Jesus is perfect you can trust in Him to pay for
everything that you have ever done – past present and future. And are offerend the
wonderful gift of eternal life.
And this is where inner beauty begins…by accepting Jesus into your life – beginning a
personal love relationship with him and he promises to heal all the blemishes that you have
in your heart.
