I AM BURDENED. I HAVE SEEN TOO MUCH. Throughout my 21 years of ministry I have been to some very poor and hurting areas of the world. Mexico, India, Nepal, Haiti, Indonesia, and the inner-cities of America to name a few. I have picked up kids and hugged them... played with them... encouraged them... and shared Jesus with them. A few years back my wife and I heard from God to start helping children both overseas and hear at home. Did you know that globally, an estimated 438.9 million people were infected with a soil transmitted disease... which are diseases that enter through the feet due to pollutants on the ground and a lack of proper foot protection. Around the world, there are an estimated 153 million orphans who have lost one parent. There are 17,900,000 orphans who have lost both parents and are living in orphanages or on the streets and lack shoes, proper care and attention required for healthy development. These children are at risk for disease, malnutrition, and death. In the U.S. 397,122 children are living without permanent families in the foster care system. The International Labor Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally, including 5.5 million children. 55% are women and girls. THIS IS WHY OUR HEARTS ARE BURDENED. We asked God, what can we do? He said said the devil is under your feet (Rom. 16:20)... your feet are beautiful to preach the gospel (Rom. 10:15). God then said make shoes and I will open the doors for you to not only cover the feet of the kids of the world but I will open doors to preach the gospel to save the lost of the world. Well, we are about to launch our new ministry to revive the church and provide shoes and the gospel to kids in need. We made our very own DEVIL STOMPER FLIP FLOPS (and soon we will have shoes for you as well). When you pick up a pair for yourself we will take a pair of SHOES (not flip-flips) to a child in need and share the gospel. It is a GET 1 GIVE 1 campaign. You can also help this great cause by becoming a partner for as little as $15 a month. If our ministry has been a blessing to you please prayerfully consider partnering with us. Visit our website at godswordinternational.org if you would like to help. Thank you for your prayers and support. --Brad Kuechler #devilSTOMPERS #GODSWORDINTERNATIONAL James 1:27 - Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. NKJV
