CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.— As The Tide® (www.thetide.org) ministry celebrates 75 years of global outreach, they are continuing to look for innovative ways to reach the lost around the world. Even though they already share the Gospel in 39 countries on three different continents, there are still more who need to hear the Good News.
In an effort to reach even more people with the Gospel, The Tide® ministry is hosting their “Your Soles, Their Souls” shoe drive. The goal is to gather 2,500 pairs of new or gently worn shoes by the end of the month and The Tide® ministry has already received over 700 pairs! The shoes collected will benefit micro businesses in developing countries around the world, and the funds raised from this campaign will benefit Gospel outreach through literacy classes in India.
“Even as we celebrate 75 years of ministry this year, we are always looking for ways to keep spreading the Gospel for the next 75 years to come,” stated Don Shenk, director of The Tide® ministry. “The ‘Your Soles, Their Souls’ campaign is a great way to bring awareness to what we have been doing around the world, as well as provide funding for additional literacy classes in India.”
While the campaign is ongoing throughout the month, The Tide® ministry is hosting a drive-through drop off event on February 26 from 10:00am-2:00pm ET at i360 Property Management, 1035 Wayne Ave, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 17201. For more information, click here.
