As I have gotten older, I’ve learned the respect of earning my own money and working for the things I want and need. I’ve come to understand and commit to the importance of investing in things that will be tools not only to my education, but also to my work.
Every year I participate in a gathering of other kids, grades 6-12, who come together to be encouraged in various art forms that can be used in ministry.
Fine Arts Festival.
It’s something I enjoy immensely, and not only is it a fantastic event but it’s something that at a national level could open doors for colleges, scholarships and job opportunities.
In the two years I’ve attended District Fine Arts Festival, each year I have received ‘Superior With Invitation to Nationals’ in a few categories; the main being T-Shirt Design.
However, due to limited funds and the distance a trip to Nationals would require I’ve never been able to attend.
This year is my last year to participate in Fine Arts Festival as a high school student.
I’m writing this letter of sorts, to announce something many of you have expressed interest in: my t-shirt designs.
I’ve miraculously found a talented screen printer who can produce my unique designs. And I’m very excited about it.
Thus I am starting to sell t-shirts sporting my out of the ordinary designs.
The idea is for this to be a way for me to raise the money money to make it to National Fine Arts.
This not only means the cost of registration itself, but gas, food, plane tickets, car rentals and all the materials I need.
And Orlando, Florida is a long ways away.
Now I want to present all of you with the opportunity to not only support me, but find yourself with an amazing one-of-a-kind shirt designed by yours truly. So buy one for yourself, your friends, your kids and every single extended member of your family!
My goal is to sell 888 shirts.
Shirts are $22 each and available through Etsy.
Those of you who live in my area are welcome to forgo Etsy and the shipping cost by getting in touch with me through my phone number and picking up the shirts when they become available.
I look forward to this adventure and thank all of you for your support! Both prayerful and monetary.
The idea behind this shirt design comes from Hebrews 10:24,
“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works."
The word "provoke" isn't often used in relation to encouragement and love. Think of the angriest you've ever been, of what provoked you to that anger.
Now imagine someone being provoked like that, but to make a difference; to love.
Like encouragement on steroids.
