T-Shirt Drive

Hey Everyone!

We have officially set the dates for the Open Arms T-Shirt Drive! We will begin collections on September 4th and continue through September 10th. We will be coming around to specific neighborhoods so if you have a neighborhood that you would like for us to collect at please e-mail us at: fiftyplusonenow@gmail.com . In previous blog posts we listed the colors we need, but here they are again: Burnt Orange, Red, Brown, Navy, Black, Grey, and Maroon. We are welcoming every color t-shirt, but these are the colors Open Arms told us they were in need of at the moment. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you so much for supporting our organization and Open Arms in this wonderful opportunity to provide refugees with an income for their families while they are here in America.

God Bless,

50plus(ONE)

T-Shirt Drive Pre-Post

Hi 50plus(ONE) followers!

We are so grateful for the support of everyone and we want to step it up another notch! We have been in communication with Open Arms and we have decided to host a t-shirt drive. This is a heads up. We haven't finalized all the details but make sure to set a side all the t-shirts you no longer need from the summer months. Here are a few colors that Open Arms is in need of: Burnt Orange, Red, Brown, Navy, Black, Grey, and Maroon. Thanks so much! Keep looking back for more information about this unique opportunity to help our sisters in Christ!

Inspiring Verse

Today I was listening to one of my pastor's at my church and she had such an inspiring and uplifting verse that she talked about. The verse was Hebrews 13:5b "..I will never leave you, nor forsake you." This reminded me that God will always be with us no matter what we are going through. He knows the trials and tribulations we go through because Jesus went through even worse when he was on the cross. Our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted all over the world need the reminder that God will never leave them and will be with them forever. Not only do they need the reminder but so does the rest of the world when we are going through hardships.

50plus(ONE) challenges everyone who reads this to pray for the persecuted people in other nations that they will feel God around them every moment of their lives and for them not to give up on what He wants them to be doing, which is spreading and sharing His great Love and Word.
