Would you like to buy a t-shirt to support a good cause? I designed a shirt with the help of Fund the Nations to raise funds for an upcoming mission trip to Germany: https://houstonsfirst.focusmissions.com/!/#/9694/germany–2019/participants/127455/donate
This t-shirt can serve as a great conversation starter about your faith and how God cares about the needy. The phrase Be for the sojourner and logo comes from Deuteronomy 24:19-22 where the Israelites are instructed to leave margins on their harvest for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. They were called to leave some sheaves of wheat, olives, grapes, etc. in the field and on the trees for the less fortunate to feed themselves.
In the same manner today we are called to give a portion of what the Lord has blessed us with for the needy: helping the refugees that are here as long as God has them here, helping the orphans, the widows, and other needy. This same calling is what motivates me to give my time and resources to travel to Germany and see what God is doing among them to bring them hope for this live and assurance of salvation. I hope you will also become part of my story on this trip and purchase a shirt, become a prayer partner, and/or support the trip financially. Thank you!
19 “When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over them again. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not strip it afterward. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 22 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this.
