This past weekend i had the opportunity to go to one of the biggest medical missions conferences ever at Southeast Christian Church
The Global Medical Missions Conference is hosted by Southeast Church every year and it just seems to be getting bigger and bigger. So many medical students and professionals were there worshiping the LORD and seeking out ways to impact the world for Christ. I just love maps and they had this huge one where people could pins where they wanted to go or have been. Lots of pins – very exciting:
One of the Missions Ministers at Southeast, Ben Thornley, had a place he intended to go to as well.
I guess he wants to evangelize the sea creatures….
Anywho.. the big reason I was there was to help my friends at Spend Yourself. They had a booth in the exhibit hall – to educate people about Spend Yourself and to sell some shirts to support the various ministries they help to raise funds for and tell their stories such as SOZO, LIA, SCARLET HOPE and a brand new ministry called Resc/You. Just click on the links to find out more about the stories and the ministries that seek to evangelize and empower people – not just give band-aid solutions.
Each ministry they support is pretty amazing which is why Spend Yourself got started in the first place. This little non-profit t-shirt company – simply wanted to just tell the story and help raise money to support ministries that can impact the nations for Christ. And THAT they are doing…
This weekend was amazing for Spend Yourself because so many got to hear the stories and so many chose to support and tell the stories through the t-shirts. It’s quite encouraging to see so many get excited about Spend Yourself, too. The booth was constantly surrounded by people wanting to hear and of course buying shirts. We were wore out- completely spent – but so much fun. Can’t wait to see how the story travels!!!
What is even more amazing is that this company is run strictly by volunteers who believe in the cause – which means 100% of the profits go right to the ministry you choose to support. OH.. and did i mention – you can win free t-shirts for a year. Click here to find out how to register.
