Central Shoes

Looking for a practical way to make a difference internationally?
TOMS is a great organization who provided 1 pair of shoes to someone overseas in need of shoes for every pair of shoes you purchase (min. $44.00+shipping). So, running (hehe) with their idea, my amazing hubs decided he wanted in on the action of impacting people groups in 3rd world nations. Although the phenomenon of TOMS does provided an overwhelming amount of shoes overseas they are not a Christian based organization and therefore their goal is to simply prolong impoverished people's lives by bettering thier daily lives with shoes. As a Christ follower I am called to make disciples therefore I don't feel right about prolong someones earthly life without sharing the eternal life changing message of Jesus Christ.
Central Shoes are the most basic tennis shoes we could find (yes, you may recognise them from your local Wal-Mart or Target stores). We are purchasing them and then giving them to those who donate $40.00 to this cause. ~$1o.00 will go toward the cost of the shoes and then the other$30 goes directly to an organization called Soles for Jesus. With $30.00 they can provide 15 pairs of shoes AND share Jesus with everyone who gets a pair!!!
If you haven't done the math yet, that's 1 pair for you and 15 for children in Africa PLUS Jesus!

Just a simple way to make an impact! Comment or inbox me for more details about getting a pair.

SocialVibe: What the smackedy-honk?

What is this Social Vibe widget thing you're trying to get us to click on??
Their description: "SocialVibe is the easiest way to help the causes you care about, without having to spend any money. You and the community + your favorite brands = money for charity."

How do I do this?
It's kinda silly but basically all you have to do is click the "socialvibe" box on the left hand side of my blog, do some kinds of "activity" (the only one I've done so far was a vote choosing who Toyota would give cars to), and then some how the brands affiliated with this site give money to your chosen charity.

Why are you doing this?
I attempt (if at all possible) to have everything I do in life to be beneficial to God's eternal kingdom. If I can further the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ in Africa through Jars of Clay's Blood:Water Mission projects from a simple widget on my blog then WOOHOO!!!
What is your chosen charity?
Blood:Water Mission: Click this for basic info and this to learn more about the growing African church. Going to their site will allow them to explain it a lot better than me and help you connect better with this ministry.

What are the benefits?
If I understand it right, my chosen charity works like this:
20 clicks/completed "activity" I get on my site= 37 days of clean water for a person in Africa
PRETTY COOL, HUHH!?!?!

****Correction...I guess I don't really understand this bc I've now done only 2 actities and have already earned 37 days???****

Join me and make a difference! You can do 1 activity a day. I will always have it available on here and am attempting to get a spot on my Facebook page.
Didn't cover something? Just leave a comment with your questions so I can lecha ya know!
