My project to start off with is to get blank white t-shirts and hand write with a black marker: "This shirt has a purpose....." which will be on the front of the shirt and on the back finish with "....Do You? The cost of the shirts is $5. Yes they cost only $5, and the shirt is a regular blank t-shirt with my hand written message. But it is the idea that is behind it. You are not paying for anything flashy, but paying for the idea behind it. This is that I will be able to spread this message because people will look at the shirts and wonder what it is all about. Then they can tell others my message.
That message is that: I went to NINE at nine. Then heard the message from the Bible about a king and giving his servants 10 minas. When the King came back from his trip, he asked the servants what they did with what HE GAVE THEM. The first servant gained 10 more minas, the second gained 5 more minas, the third hid the mina in the ground. He was selfish, lazy and did not SHARE what he was given. So the King awarded the First servant and gave the third servant's mina to the first servant and also rewarded the second servant. The point is that we have a purpose in this world. We were given gifts/talents/skills to use and to represent HIM through those gifts. If we realize our purpose and use them past our potential we will make God smile and be happy ourselves for making a difference. So I was given $20 to do something special, something meaningful, something that would do good for the Kingdom of God. I also went back and took 40 dollars to have a source of $60. But I am keeping in mind that my mind is the true source and not the actual $60. My project is to spread this message through this shirt and have it just trickle from person to person by the shirts. I will raise money and send a message at the same time. The money is not my profit. It is going to work for my next project....which is still under construction. However the end goal is to raise enough to return most or more of it back to our investors. But along the way touch peoples' lives along the way.
So far this is what I have. I have 10 names down already, 1 maybe, and a whole bunch of potentials on campus. My goal is a minimum of 30 shirts sold. Please help out. I have a facebook group, but I am not friends with all of you yet on facebook, so look me up, or accept my invitation and join my group : "This shirt has a purpose...DO YOU?" and you can buy a shirt and wear it proudly or you can just join to represent the message and cause.
Thanks,
