This is Carole in the "shoe workshop", sorting & cleaning gently used shoes in the bay of our garage.
Greetings to all our blogger friends and supporters of Sharing The Sword!
We have been working steadily since September toward our 2015 trip to Mexico, and God has provided for all our needs as we plan to leave at the end of this month.  Thanks go out to so many who have come alongside us to help make this possible!
   The "shoe ministry" has been helped along with our 6 elementary schools bringing in shoes from their early morning "Bible Release Program" for the 3rd year, three Churches have collected shoes, two schools in North Carolina, and many individuals have been excited and motivated to help in this unique program for needy families in Mexico. As our granddaughter, Ashley, helped me with sorting the shoes, she made a poster and asked her principal if she could have her schoolmates collect shoes for the children in Mexico. The response was wonderful, and we received over 200 pairs in only 7 days!
