Hey guys, this blog is very important so please read this and actually know what i’m saying, this will change lives all over the WORLD!!!
Ok, Well We as a church, Victory Worship, are about to pull off the first ever "Sole" project, we don’t really have a name for it yet, but that’s what i’m calling it for now. Are goal is to put shoes on people in africa, india, and other places that need shoes, except it’s not going to be any type of shoe, it’s going to be Crocs. Now people in Africa, most of the diseases they get is mainly caused by bacteria and stuff getting in through cuts on the feet. Also, the sand sometimes can get so hot that it could take a person off their feet for a while if in the sand for too long. So what some of them do is, if they can, get a hold of 2 liter or 3 liter coke bottels, crush them, put some holes in the back and one in the front and put some string on it to make some flip flops.....Yes they are VERY uncomfortable, but it’s better to have uncomfortable feet than blistered and cut feet. So what we are going to do is hold a campaign basically, And we need YOUR HELP!!! Now what we need is, first off, Everyone who drinks soda’s, if you buy the can’s, please START BUYING THE 2 LITER and 3 LITER COKE BOTTLES!!!! Why? you might ask and this is why. What we are hoping to do is get at the least, 8,000 coke bottles by September of this year. What we are going to do is we are going to make these sandals that they make in Africa. And we are going to have like a party basically with games and food and possibly even our LP Youth Band playing, and if you have a pair of these specially made sandals (and we are going to make them specialized so we know who actually got a pair from us and didn’t cheat) Now some of you might be asking well, how do i get these sandals. What we are going to do is, if you have any pair of crocs, torn up or perfectly fine, you can either trade in the pair of crocs for a free pair of the sandals, or you can pay for them, and we don’t have a set price just yet. But The crocs you give us will be recycled to make a new pair of crocs that are going to be given to these people with no shoes, just to show them that God loves everyone around the world, not just certain people. What better way to show love to someone, than to give them a pair of shoes....Some people in Africa never ever wore shoes and they are like 20 or 30. But This project is going to take time, and we are going to need your help, extremely. So this is what we need out of ya’ll.....
First, If you can, start drinking 2 liter or 3 liter Soda bottles, clean them out and keep them.
Second, if you have any crocs laying around that are messed up or don’t fit you anymore, send them in!
Third, if you want, you can even donate money towards this so we can get more shoes out to Africa, The more shoes we sell, the more shoes get sent to Africa and everywhere else.
Now If you get your bottles, you can store them for a while and every month send them in, or send them by September so we can get them made into Sandals.
"Well if i want to send them in, where do i send it to?" This is a question asked by a few people and this is what you need to do....
If you are going to mail them out (Once again, make sure if you send bottles that they are rinsed and cleaned out!) You can mail them to the church themselves at.....
The LP Youth / 1410 W. Napoleon St. / Sulphur, Louisiana / 70663 (Make sure if you send them to church and you send in crocs, make sure to leave a note with Your mailing address so we can send you a pair of the sandals.)
Or you can even mail them to myself at......
Randy Langley JR./ 3395 Saint Raphael Ln. / Sulphur, Louisiana / 70663
The only reason we are doing this is to show people around the world that we care, to show that God can do big things through people if we just let him. and now is the time to show it. Ask parents, ask your parents to talk to their co-workers, TELL EVERYONE!!!! Give them one of the mailing addresses above and let them send them in also. We can get this done but we need your help.
