ABRAHAM’S PROMISE provides music programs and presentations outside of the Sharing Pearls program.

Sometimes “pain” comes into our life, bringing circumstances beyond our control. Compare that to a grain of sand in an oyster shell. The sand causes an irritation so the oyster forms a protective substance to eliminate it. The friction of the substance and the grain of sand eventually produces a valuable pearl.

So often in life our situations create irritations, and when we allow it, a substance of strength is developed through the experiences of others to help us overcome difficult situations.

A symbolic “pearl” distributed to all participants is a visual reminder of the importance of sharing their experiences with others, showing genuine care for people who may be hurting. Participants are asked to share a positive testimony and do a good deed for someone. Then they should give the pearl to that person asking them to do the same thus creating a chain of hope and encouragement.

“As a gem is polished with friction, so a person is perfected with trials.”
