Donate a pair of sandals

Hey folks, my name is Lívia, I'm 30 years old and I am married to Klécio. We have 2 children: Kevin (5 years old) and Kathleen (1 year and 7 months old). We lived in the USA for 8 years. In April 2007 we felt we should come back to Brazil in order to stay close to our family, that's when the Lord confirmed us that it was time for us to come back. We brought our 2 beautiful kids and the memory of a big family God gave us there. What a happiness to be able to come back to see again our relatives!

When I lived there, in Orlando (Florida), I always had the will of working by helping homeless kids in Brazil, but I was there, right? So, since we came back, why not?

Now, in the end of November, it's been a year we came back to João Pessoa.

Always seeing barefoot kids on the street, with torn clothes, starving, that brokes my heart, so I talked to my husband: Let's make a campaign to raise flip-flops and wear those kids? He said it was a good idea, but in that moment, I was more excited than him. Ok, some months passed on, but I couldn't bear it anymore, and I thought: I have to do something, time has come.

I know that someone might be thinking: "I think Lívia has gone nuts", but that's exactly what it is, I'm crazy to do something different, because I don't want to live just waiting time passes by, enjoying the wonders God has given me when I'm doing nothing.

So I thought: "Why not help the needy in someway?"

For them, a simple flip-flop will make a huge difference, as they are walking barefoot, stepping on dust, the feet with calluses because of a so hot ground. It's a little compared to so much need, but beginning with the flip-flops, I believe that other items will be donated. We have plans, in first place, to wear the hemeless kids' feet, e so on... aults, the elderly... we want them to feel important to God. But how will they feel loved by God? How will they know God is good if they living in such miserable condition? That's where we play our role, helping, leading them to the love of God. A simple flip-flop, a simple hug... that makes difference in their lives. I know it won't be easy, but the Lord will open doors in the name of Jesus.

Think a little about that and see the greatness of everything you have when so many are needy. I know they need a lot, but if we start doing something, it will make a difference.

Imagine that: with U$ 2.00, you can wear a barefoot child.

Buy a flip-flop and make a child happy!!

They will receive not only flip-flops, but they will hear about THE LOVE OF JESUS!
