Thank you Kristen, for the shout out on the shirts, and for the reminder of that moment. I’ve put her article here for you to read.

And if you want to buy a HopeChest shirt–a shirt that will help feed orphans, and restore victims of sex trafficking, and enter you to win a free mission trip–here you go. There’s only a few days left, so please don’t wait. We close the store soon.
