Coming to WC in Toronto?
I am initiating a project to collect some new and gently used socks for the Good Shepherd downtown street ministry in Toronto. Each day they provide services such as snacks to 750 men, women and children.
It would be a huge God thing for us to collect a pair of socks for each person that the ministry reaches each day. 750 socks is alot of collect, but through prayer and soft hearts it is very possible to reach this goal. By tonight I will have already received more than 12 pairs of socks - and that is even from C4C students who are not coming to WC! My church is also taking up a collection!!
Therefore, please consider participating in this cause even if you are not coming to WC. You can pray, send some socks along with someone else who is attending WC, and encourage fellow students to get involved. Encouraging 2-3 others to get involved can be called the theory of sock multiplication. :P
The socks will be collected a some point during WC and taken to the ministry centre most likely on New Year's Eve when we have some free time.
Good Shepherd mainly asks for men's cotton socks, but they can also make use of children's or women's socks if that is what you have to give.
If you can't bring any socks, please consider giving up a bit of your time to help me bring these socks to the ministry centre.

Thanks.
