Barefoot Easter | Samaritan's Feet

Join us Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010

There are millions of children around the world who don't have shoes. They suffer from diseases, infection, and many other ailments as a result. On Easter weekend, April 4th, which is also the 42nd anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King JR's death, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Bishop James Dixon, Dr. Stephen J. Thurston, Bishop J. Drew Sheard, and Bishop Gregory Ingram are asking 5,000 inter-denominational pastors to preach barefoot to raise funds and awareness for Samaritan's Feet.

Join us in honoring Jesus Christ and his servant Martin Luther King Jr. by standing for the children around the world who don't have a voice. The body of Christ will reach across denominations and beliefs to join together to make a difference for His Kingdom. Please join us by preaching in your bare feet on Easter Sunday.

Please participate by doing these three things:

Agree to preach your sermon in your bare feet on April 4th (Easter Sunday) to raise awareness of the 300 million people who cannot afford even one pair of shoes to protect their feet from disease or infection.
Take up a special offering for Samaritan's Feet. This can happen in two different ways: Ask your congregation to donate $10, which buys, sorts, warehouses, ships and distributes a pair of shoes for a child in need. Or ask your congregation to text "shoes" to 85944 and $10.00 will be added to their cell phone bill at the end of the month which buys a pair of shoes for a child in need.
Make phone calls or send out emails and/or letters to four (4) other pastors asking them to participate on Easter Sunday.

Our goal is to raise one million pairs of shoes for children throughout the world as part of the 10 million in 2010 campaign. Please download the participant package and video to share with your congregation on Easter Sunday, and register your organization to receive ongoing updates around Samaritan's Feet.
