Shoes and God’s Love

Having just celebrated Thanksgiving, spending time with our families, over-eating, and Black Friday shopping we have a lot to be thankful for. More times than not we take for granted what abundance we have. Simple things like shoes that we can buy so easily don’t come so easily for everyone. We don’t realize that millions of people go without them every day.

One of the great things about sponsorship through GO is that we can help solve that problem with giving. While the government provides school uniforms in Mazatlán, shoes are a big problem for kids in need, because they are required, but not provided. When a child is sponsored by a family or individual, part of the money used to sponsor the child buys them a new pair of shoes for school every year.

As a young girl received a pair of brand new school shoes, her smile started to grow. She said they are a reminder from God that He is with her, and that He will help her to improve her grades in school. Such a thankful and sincere heart is what makes this giving special. It also gives a whole new meaning to the giving of a pair of shoes. It’s not just a pair of shoes, it is an answer to a little girl's humble prayer.

Thank you so much for giving to GO on The Mission by prayer, donations, and sponsorship. We are so thankful to generous givers who make things like this happen. You are changing lives and furthering God’s kingdom every day. To sponsor a child in need, click here.
