50000SHOES.COM!

soles4souls is an amazing charity in nashville that has one mission:

get shoes to people who need shoes

Over 300 million people around the world don’t have shoes and are forced to walk around unsafe and in potentially life-threatening conditions.
Not only is it unsafe physically, but having to look down all the time causes these people to also live without dignity and confidence.

Let’s get money raised for 50,000 shoes in 50 days!!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Go to 50000shoes.com.
A $5 donation buys two pairs of shoes.

Everyone has $5 (or more!) and everyone has 2 minutes.
All it takes is three clicks.

YOU CAN WIN A TRIP TO GIVE SOMEONE THEIR FIRST PAIR OF SHOES!
besides the fact that the blogging world can literally impact 50,000 people before the end of the year, one person (and their guest) will be chosen at random to hand deliver the shoes they purchased on a s4s trip to mexico. can you imagine handing someone their very first pair of shoes? it could be a child. or it could be a mother. or a father. or a grandmother. who knows?!

five bucks. three clicks. two minutes. that’s all and it can make a HUGE difference!!

THE MATH

if 500 people influence 10 people to donate, and those people influence 5 more, that’s 50,000 pairs of shoes (because remember – $5 buys 2 pairs!)…please help make this a reality! let’s blow it out of the water…can we raise enough for 100,000 pairs? I THINK SO!!!

300 million people around the world need you!

forbes.com and cnbc.com have already picked up on this…and we have only just begun. with your help (and only with your help) this can be a worldwide movement. i truly believe it can!

are you in?

my kind of church (1 of 3)

Posted by dturn on November 11, 2008

My kind of church will be the one that:

Impacts Lives

Every single person matters. They are a creation of God Almighty.
This means that they have value.
Since they are Gods creation, they should expect to find His love in His church.
No matter what a persons age, sex, economic status, or religious training, they must find Gods love in us.

Everyday people are facing challenges.
Financial, marital, physical and social issues can be overwhelming for even the strongest individual.
We want to be able to point people in the direction of Christ so that their lives will never be the same again.
