Story

I'm choosing to lose something I love for a short time to help raise money and awareness for Christians who have lost everything because of their faith in Jesus. 

In losing my shoes and socks for a week I will undoubtedly be uncomfortable, embarrassed, maybe cold and in pain - but Christians count the cost of following Jesus every day and endure far worse. My hope is that in doing this I'll be able to raise awareness, prayer and much needed funds to support Christians who need it the most. 

Christians around the world have lost family, home, friends, safety and freedom because of their love of Jesus. Please sponsor me as I give up something I love to help raise money for essential aid, support and help.

Pradip*, a Hindu teenager from Nepal, mocked his sister for becoming a Christian. But then he visited a church with a friend, and that same night he saw a flash of intense light in his room. Confused, he started looking for answers, which he eventually found in Jesus. For Pradip, it was a winning choice, even though it meant being disowned by his parents, kicked out of home and forced to leave their village. 

Pradip, like many others, knows that choosing Jesus means losing much. Please sponsor me and help me raise vital funds to support and encourage young Christians like Pradip!
