i have a vinyl quote on my wall at home

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” ― C.G.Jung

its been a constant for me for years, i don't have to live my history i can change and be a better person, and make a difference.

While the quote on the wall of Mission Shirts may be different, the idea of making a difference to people is one that drives Dennis Beckner and his team check out the inspirational posts  on there facebook page facebook.com/MissionShirts The company was started January 2012 for the sole purpose of helping fund short term mission trips which is what they are doing, in February 3 folk went out to Rwanda.

Dennis says they fund up to half the cost of trips. which really encourages people to realise they can raise the funds needed and gives them a push to do fundraising for the rest of the money needed.

Mission Shirts print t shirts, banners, window decals and all sorts of cool stuff like transforming coffee carts with totally cool vinyl graphics i spent ages on the facebook page being inspired by the enthusiasm, and the products, i’m a huge fan of window decals, inspirational quotes and checking the posts gave me loads of ideas on how to use them in my office and youth clubs i was properly excited and even got an idea for a project a group i’m working with can do.

i saw a small sign that said gardening ministries which is so cool and i will be pitching that idea to a group of youth club leavers who have asked me to help them “do something useful” so not only could i buy t-shirts at Mission Shirts i can find ideas to make that difference.

just like Dennis and Mission Shirts is doing in Moldova, Rwanda and in Kenya where they Helped purchase a house for mentally challenged children (this ministry is run by a former student of Saddleback Church  high school ministry. Here's a link to the ministry's Facebook page)

you may not be called to mission, but we all need a new shirt with cool graphics! and that can help someone do life better.
