I want your shoes: old or new, high
heels or flats, sneakers or dress, or anything in between.
Why do I want your shoes?
To give them to the “Shoeman,”
that’s why. The Shoeman runs a warehousing operation in Fenton.
He processes the shoes and sells them by the pound to South America.
The money that he makes from the sale of shoes goes to one of two
projects. The first project buys well digging equipment which is
delivered and installed in Kenya to provide drinking water for
villages that don’t any water suitable for drinking.
The other project purchases water
purification systems that are delivered and installed in Haiti.
These systems provide drinking water for the people of Haiti. A trip
to Haiti. is planned for the near future.
What do I need from you is shoes. I
need complete pairs. If the have laces, please tie matching pairs
together. If the don’t have laces, please use a rubber band or
some twine to secure them together. Once that is completed, please
bag them so it is easy for me to load them.
Today, I delivered five tall kitchen
bags full to the local drop off point. These all came from one
family. And I thank them very much.
See what God can do with some old
shoes. Just think what God could do if we gave him our best.
