I want to share with you my t-shirt testimony. For some time now we have been wearing t-shirts with the Gospel message on them and it has proved to be very efficient in witnessing for Jesus. We hardly go out without a t-shirt on because every time you go out to the shops or to the mall or wherever you go, you put your t-shirt on with Jesus on it and you are witnessing, you are sowing seed and this is proved to be very efficient. Many people approach you and then they start asking you about Jesus, others get the message, the seed is sowed.
I have been making my own t-shirts and printing the words on them. I made stencils and then painted the words on them it is a tedious process. It takes you about half a day to make one t-shirt and then your stencil is destroyed so you cannot re-use it. Now many people have asked me for t-shirts like mine. Now obviously the way that I make them, there is no way that you can make t-shirts for other people. The Lord laid it on me to make these t-shirts available so that other people can also wear t-shirts, a message that will stir people and wake them up, because you don’t find messages like those in a t-shirt shops. They have the soft messages. So I investigated a method of printing these t-shirts in volume. So I explored screen printing and I bought the equipment, made a few blunders and eventually got the process right. But it is quite costly to get this started up and then to print these t-shirts. The other thing is that when you send these t-shirts out, the shipping cost is quite expensive. It is often two to three times the cost of the t-shirt. So if you pay four dollars for a t-shirt it can cost you more than twenty dollars depending on where you send it, especially if you are sending it overseas. So I made these t-shirts available and I put a price tag of eighteen dollars per t-shirt on them on my website and then all hell broke loose. People accused me of trying to make money out of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They just don’t know the cost and all the work that is involved in doing this but in any case I said Lord, what must I do now. The Lord said to me: "Give them away, just give them away. Whoever wants it give it away." So I made these t-shirts available for free on my website. What is quite amazing is when I advertised these t-shirts at eighteen dollars a piece nobody ordered any, but when I said it is for free the orders came rolling in and we had to set up a shop and we couldn’t do manual printing I had to build a press because the volume was too big, but lo and behold it is for free. So we started printing these t-shirts and let me tell you when you stop at the postal services with a trunk full of t-shirts and they charge you two hundred dollars just for the shipping then you say:"Lord I am sending it for free but I don’t know for how long!" and the Lord said to me: "You send it for free," which we continued doing. I said Lord how long can I continue doing this and the Lord said:"I will supply." We kept on going and we started receiving testimonies of people who are wearing these t-shirts and the effect that it had. People were approaching them and how it assisted them in testifying, sowing seed for the Kingdom of God. I said:"Lord if this is the last thing I do, I want to continue doing this for your glory." But you know God is faithful and then the Lord started supplying. Some people heard the voice of the Lord and they contributed and we are so thankful to be able to continue this service. It is hard work. I can tell you it is not fun to print fifty t-shirts on both sides front and back and then to iron them and then to pack them and then to drive in to town to ship them, neither is it fun to drive twenty miles to town to go and buy t-shirts and we kind of wiped out Wal-Mart and Michaels because we bought so many t-shirts. But dear friends it is a wonderful privilege to know that these t-shirts are going out all over the world. We have sent many overseas, I think we have sent more overseas than locally in the US. If you send it overseas it is the best part of ten dollars just for shipping. Praise God He has provided so that we can continue to send these t-shirts and quite often those people who are WILLING to wear the message of Jesus on their body are those people who cannot afford to pay for the t-shirt. I want to tell you that God is faithful and we must just DO what He tells us to do and He will supply in all our needs for His Kingdom. It is not for us. It is for the Kingdom of God. For those who have contributed I want to say thank you very much and may Jesus bless you mightily. You are enabling us to enable others to sow seed for the Kingdom of God and for some others who do not have a t-shirt with Jesus on it. We are waiting for your order. We would like to print you a t-shirt and send it to you but please WEAR it for JESUS. GO TESTIFY because if we do not sow we will not reap. It is good to wear a t-shirt, it makes you stand out, it identifies you with Jesus. So if you are not ashamed to stand out for Jesus and let the whole world know that you belong to Jesus, you are most welcome to contact us for a t-shirt. My website details are on this video. It is all for Jesus. Will you wear Jesus, will you testify for Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.
