What?"Drink great coffee, enjoy flavor filled tea, write in your new prayer journal or sip from one of our fab mugs!" Why?"Our hearts beat to see people trapped in sex slavery set free.

What?We "will donate one bar of soap, freshwater, or vitamin supplements to a child in need for every bar purchased." Why?"More than 3,000 children's lives could be saved every day with something as simple as a bar or soap and clean water. In just two short years, we have donated our soap internationally to a number of countries, 4 Continents in total. We also provide soap locally to struggling families, homeless shelters, women shelters, and nursing homes here in America."
What? "We collaborate with the craftsmen to create products that we know you will love. They are high-quality and beautiful. It would be a disservice to not tell the world about the craftsmen's amazing work. We exist to make a difference in the lives of craftsmen throughout the world. We call it Handmade Impact." Why? "Market Colors was started because I believe where we shop can make a difference. It was founded to make a lasting impact for families throughout Africa." "God called me to this type of ministry over several visits to Africa. I spent days with widows anxious over whether they could give their kids food that day because they hadn’t sold many of their handmade products at the market. I don’t say that to pull at your heartstrings, but because it’s the truth. Together, we can change that -- not for everyone in Africa, but for many." -Lizzie Randazzo, Founder and CEO What?"We want to sell the best quality dental supplies while sustaining the environment and improve the oral health of people who can’t afford or have access to dental care. Why?"Humble Brush won’t cause a revolution in the world. But every grain of dirt will move a mountain slowly. Health care is a basic human right which should be accessible to all. Dental care is usually overlooked, but consider the effects of a healthy mouth. Proper nutrition leads to a strong, healthy body with the ability to work. Having a smile improves social contacts which in turn lead to better opportunities. Our health is one big system. If one part fails the other parts can’t function either."
What?"Out of Print celebrates the world’s great stories through fashion. Our products feature iconic and often out of print book covers. Some are classics, some are just curious enough to make great t-shirts, but all are striking works of art. We work closely with artists, authors and publishers to license the content that ends up in our collections. Each product is treated to feel soft and worn like a well-read book." Why?"In addition to spreading the joy of reading through our tees and accessories, we acknowledge that many parts of the world don’t have access to books at all. We are working to change that. For each product sold, one book is donated to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa."
What? Anyone who has been blessed with the opportunity to “Ride Nature”, knows the thrill, the excitement, and the joy that riding a board can bring. From the first time you pop an ollie on a skateboard…to when you land your first kickflip. When you paddle into your first wave and you feel the power of the ocean pushing you effortlessly. The pure gratification of carving through bottomless snow on an unforgettable powder day on the mountain. There are literally BILLIONS of individuals around the world that will never get the opportunity to experience the excitement of owning their own board or getting the chance to surf, skate, or even just ride a board. Ride Nature is a brand that was built from the ground up with a PURPOSE - We like to call it; "A MEANS TO THE ENDS" - A brand that exists with a sole purpose to help us reach and achieve a greater purpose. Why? 100% of the proceeds from all sales go directly to the mission of the Ride Nature Organization. That MISSION is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. The Ride Nature brand and our online store is simply a means to allow us to get there. Who?Caitlin Crosby: An actor, singer/songwriter What?"In a way we are all like these keys – unique, flawed, scarred, and at risk of being discarded – she wanted these keys to have their purpose renewed over and over again. Their message is yours for a time, but once they've served their purpose with you, pay it forward to inspire another." Why?"The Giving Keys exists to employ those transitioning out of homelessness to make jewelry out of repurposed keys that get sold and shared around the world. Each key is unique and carries a message like HOPE, STRENGTH, DREAM or COURAGE. When the wearer of the key encounters someone else who needs the message on the key, they give it away and then send us the story of their key being paid forward."
What?"The Love Your Melon Foundation is a not for profit organization run by college students on a mission to put a hat on every child battling cancer in America. For every hat sold, another identical hat is given to a child battling cancer. Through funding from this Buy One – Give One program and donations, the Love Your Melon Foundation provides therapeutic entertainment and comfy hats to children battling cancer during the difficult cancer treatment process. The Love Your Melon Foundation creates smiles on the faces of children battling cancer, engages communities to make a difference and provides therapeutic treatment when it is most needed." Why?"Love Your Melon was founded in an entrepreneurship class at the University of St. Thomas by two friends, Zachary Quinn and Brian Keller. On a mission to improve the lives of children battling cancer since October 22nd, 2012, Brian and Zach have been able to sell over 14,000 hats. It was founded on the simple concept of helping those in need and engaging communities to make a difference. On December 23rd, 2013, the organization received 501(c)(3) status and is now a fully established non-profit."
What?We are a company that sells high-quality blankets in the United States. With every blanket you purchase, we will give a blanket to your local homeless shelter. Why?"The summer of 2013 my mother lived on the streets. This taught me an invaluable lesson because my mother is a hard working woman. She has two college degrees, had managed restaurants, was a homeowner, and raised us two kids on her own. Yet, life got the best of her. She lost nearly all she had due to unfortunate circumstances and moved across the country to start her life over. My beautiful mother had become homeless. It was then that I realized that not all choose to become homeless - that some just need a second chance." -Bob Dalton

AuthorI am a follower of Christ Jesus. I enjoy the simple.
Occupier of the Midwest. Introvert, but not shy. This is where I go on about the bible, movies, books, clothes, crafts, and anything else. Learning what it means to have a servant's heart. Teacher, Seminary wife, reader. behind the name:Jesus is the lamb of God. He was a sacrificial lamb that was slain for us. Jesus himself tells us to pick up our cross and do what he did. I long to be a lamb, able to lay down my own selfish desires and wholeheartedly follow Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said when Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die. I am learning to die to self daily.
I write because I love sharing ideas. I write because the internet needs more beautiful and things and more gospel truths. Here are some references from the scriptures: Revelation 12:11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death Revelation 5:11-12 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” 1 John 2:6 Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Archives
