big news

Breaking news yesterday took our breath away!

Shoe-Pal 2 has 1000 pairs of shoes sitting in her garage!!

Behind the scenes, Shoe-pal 2 and her mum Leeanne have been quietly going about the business of sharing the project with others. For Virginia and I this is a huge reassurance that others are behind the project and so willingly showing their support and encouragement.

We thank you with all our hearts!!

  1. A very special thank you to the people of Lobethal Lutheran Church who have made donations of so many wonderful shoes. Here's a challenge for St Mark's Lutheran Church, Mt Barker to step up to.

  2. Thanks OrLaNd for your visit. We are one in this global village and lets join hands as we contribute towards a better world for everyone, yes, together we can make a difference!

    To the Lobethal Lutheran Church, what can I say? I am overwhelmed by your response to a call of a little girl, Shoel Pal #2 whose desire to help poor people you did not despise. The people in this poor Makuluni Village will never see you by face but your impact will be greatly felt by the comfort of their feet. I am incredibly amazed at your unity. Jesus said, 'Let the children come to me...' and today, Lobethal Lutheran Church has demonstrated that children in their church are given access to the Lord and not just accessing His throne, but also very well supported in taking up His command to serve. Thank you Shoe Pal #2, you are such an inspirational little girl!
