Eleventh Candle Co

I have shared pieces of this before, but last spring I met Amber (starter of Legacy & Eleventh Candle Co) at Pursuit Conference in Georgia. She had a table of her candles and I was dying over each of them. If you know me, I have a big LOVE for candles. I always have one burning, sometimes I even forget to blow them out, just ask Trevor 😉 They were the cutest candles and smelled delicious. I told her if I had to share a candle that represented what my website and brand looked like, this was it. I soon found out she was based in Columbus, Ohio and we were destined to be friends. When we got home from the conference, we reconnect at a Tuesday’s Together meet up and then I had Amber come up to our little town for photos. I was so excited for what she was starting and the heart behind this incredible organization. The video below tells it best, so you need to take a minute to watch it. 

Eleventh Candle Co is connected with a nonprofit Legacy in Ethiopia, their mission is to let little girls dream again. Eleventh candle is a social enterprise working to redeem, restore, empower and equip those affected by human trafficking. They have employed 4 women locally in Columbus, who hand pour these candles. Along with over in Ethiopia they are taking kids out of orphanages and putting them in foster homes & educating them. How incredible is that?! I have been able to go and volunteer at locally at the candle shop a few times and have gotten to know a couple of these women and it has been such a blessing to be a part of and hear their stories. I hope someday to travel to Ethiopia. God is doing incredibly big through through this and I am excited to be a part of it. They just celebrated their 1 year birthday at the beginning of December, you might have seen some photos or snaps from that. This company has grown SO much in a year and it is only getting bigger. They recently just switched their candle name from Legacy Candle Co to Eleventh Candle co, why such a bold shift? They want to remind woman everywhere that it is never too late for hope, too late for a miracle or too late to redeem, restore, empower and equip those who feel lost because of human trafficking – even in the eleventh hour help can be found. I love this new name and meaning, I feel like it shares their story in a bigger way. 

I recently have become an Ambassador for Eleventh Candle Co, I have loved telling others about these candles, burning them in my own home and selling them to others. It is truly amazing to think when you purchase a candle, you are helping those who have come out of human tracking along with giving kids and women in Ethiopia hope and a new life.
