Dusty Feet

Sunday, January 25, 2009



So I've decided to use my first real post to highlight an organization called Dusty Feet.
Jared Flower, a youth-leader in my church is going to be moving to california next week in order to help work for this organization. Jared will be greatly missed but we know that he will be helping alot of people, and God wants him to be there.
The Mission statement for Dusty Feet is as follows:
The mission of Dusty Feet is to be an advocate for those oppressed by poverty without creating a foundation of dependency. The Dusty Feet Organization is focused on community development and education for people society has dismissed: the street child, commercial sex worker, child soldier, or anyone subjugated by deprivation. Dusty Feet cares for and shows respect for all people regardless of race, religion, culture and socioeconomic status.
Dusty Feet is an awesome organization that works with street children, child soldiers, and human trafficking victims in east africa.
They work by building a 'micro economy' in some of the worst slums, creating businesses that will then use their profits towards a community center that will provide HIV/AIDS teseting, a feeding program for local children, and life-skills training.
It really is a great organization. If you would like to learn more about it or donate to it, the website is located here: http://www.dustyfeetonline.com/index.php

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?

Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Isaiah 58:6-7
