Witness Bracelet Palanca/Agape Idea
Materials:
- Pony Beads
- Leather Twine
- Paper or card stock
Instructions:
- String the beads on the twine and tie a knot on either side to keep them from sliding around
- 16″ of leather to make a bracelet
- Close the bracelet by knotting each end strung between two beads to allow adjustment in size  (see the picture)
- Each color has a significant meaning:
Black: represents our sin
Red: represents the Blood Jesus shed for us
White: represents the cleansing of our sin
Blue: represents baptism
Green: represents the new life we have in Jesus
Yellow: represents God’s perfect light
Purple: represents the robe and crown you will wear in heaven

What does Palanca mean?
Hi Hettie!
Palanca is the name used for the little gifts given on the weekend and is often times called ‘Agape’ in other 4th day communities. It means ‘lever’ in Spanish, because it ‘lifts’ the spirit when its given. I’m happy that you found our site and even better found something you like in our gallery of handmade palanca/agape ideas. Hoping it is a hit for your outreach endeavors! DeColores!
