The World Race and Walk In Love Clothing

There are few moments that I find myself in where I say, "People need to hear about this".

The moment is here. Twice. If you can give, please lavish on these people however God calls you to!

1) The World Race is a service journey that gives people the opportunity to visit and serve in 11 countries in 11 months. I know people who have returned from this journey broken for serving people. These "Racers" lives are not the same, nor the lives of the people they encounter. A friend of mine, Amiee Wood is one of those racers. She is serving men, women and children of all shapes, sizes and colors. You can read about it here: http://amieewood.theworldrace.org/. She needs support, though. As of March 9th, she needed $1,258 and her deadline is April 1st. If you can, please give! Help her bring the gospel and servant-hood to quite literally, the corners of the earth.

2) Walk in Love clothing is a gospel orientated fashion company in Lancaster, PA. Their name comes from Ephesians 5:1-2: Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and WALK IN LOVE, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. I've had merchandise of theirs for less than a month and had multiple people comment on them. What an easy opportunity to bring the gospel to a very religion polluted country in a way that grasps culture exactly where it is? Walk in Love is trying to open a store to do this and needs as of today $21,355 by April 1st. If you can, PLEASE GIVE! These are people who are using their God-given talents and passions to reach people in whatever way will hit them closest to home.

If you can't give, then spread the word! Tell others about these people and their passion!!! It's not everyday that I get emotional about things, but these people truly are seeking out ways to bring the gospel to (in some cases literally) the doorsteps of those who need to hear it!
