Buy Shoes Save Lives--- Get EXCITED LADIES!!!

At Church today an amazing family that live in the Middle East spoke about their ministry there, how God called them to Iraq and how God was using them to show the love of Christ to the Iraqi people. I was truly blown away by the things God is doing through them. One of the ministries they have started is called Buy Shoes Save Lives. Jeremy and his team buy these shoes in Iraq and sell them online.All the profits go to help fund one of their ministries which provides heart surgeries for children in the middle east, an AMAZING cause! This business will also help them to be able to stay in the middle east through a work visa if they are able to show that the business is successful. Honestly, Carissa and I were unable to buy our pair today because they are $100 a piece BUT as soon as I get my paycheck it will undoubtedly be the first purchase we make. Jeremy said that 60-70% of the cost goes straight to the Heart Surgeries, which they have a waiting list for, and the rest goes to pay for the shoes. So not only is the money helping Children get heart surgeries but it is also helping Iraqi families. Today as i taught the Youth we discussed a verse in James, James 1:27 which says, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and blameless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." I know that most of these children are probably not orphans; however, they are in need and I know that Jeremy and His team are explaining that they money they have received to help the children is a gift from God. I cant help but thank how much God has blessed Carissa and I with GREAT jobs, a home and much more but i also know that none of it is ours it is ALL Gods and I am so thankful he has entrused us with it. I am beyond honored to be able to bless other with what God has blessed us with. Jeremy and his team have set up a website for Buy Shoes Save Lives and they also have a blog where you can check them out. Please consider saving some money up to help bless this ministry and remember we are only caretakers of the money and provisions God has blessed us with and we are to use it to bless others and bring glory to God!
