This page is set up to let you know that we are doing what we promised we would do with the money that we make from the t-shirt sales. (If you don’t know what we promised, go read One/One and The Shop)
What do we do after the sale? The first thing we do after a sale (we think of it as our company tithe) is to designate money for the purchase of a regular, clean, brand new t-shirt (one for each tee that we sold) for donation purposes. To maximize our dollar, we will purchase and donate t-shirts in quantities of 50 to receive bulk pricing.
The next action we take is the donation of funds. We will do this in a few different ways. One way is to set up mission scholarships available to people who feel God calling them to go on mission trips and who need help raising the money to go. Another way is to donate funds directly to missionaries in the US and around the world and to donate to their mission organization and help with needs that arise.
A third action is meeting needs with the money that we raise through the purchase of goods. This can take form by helping to purchase Bibles for people who do not have access to God’s Word, long johns in winter for the homeless, food for the hungry, maternity items for expectant mothers in need, etc. (we are literally just starting out, so we haven’t sold many shirts. once sales begin to happen, we will be able to divide the funds into these donation and purchasing accounts.)
† We are brand new, but we have already donated 100 clean, brand new t-shirts to Faith Home Orphanage in Honduras, Central America on June 20, 2009! (we haven’t sold 100 shirts, but we wanted to start off with a strong donation. we pray for God’s blessing for the children at Faith Home) THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE PURCHASED OUR SHIRTS SO FAR, IT HAS MADE AN IMPACT! Visit the Faith Home website.

† Hill Thread exists to spread the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus, to encourage discipleship and spiritual growth, and to raise excitement, awareness, and financial support for missions. The shirt sales provide the financial support, but what about everything else???
….1. We spread the Truth of the Gospel by posting our online Bible study on our blog and on facebook as well as using God’s Word as the foundation for every shirt design.
….2. We encourage discipleship and spiritual growth by providing devos (devotionals) for every shirt that we design. That’s right, even the shirts that aren’t printed yet have a devo that you can use to study God’s Word! No purchase necessary, buddy! We also have a study giude to help you out. We encourage discipleship and spiritual growth by providing you with material and tools for your personal Bible study. And we encourage you to use it, so go dig into God’s Word!
….3. We raise excitement and awareness for missions by having this presence on the web, by offering you mission resources and by giving you access to our pics and videos from our trips.
