Advent Conspiracy t-shirts



Over Christmas, our church was part of the Advent Conspiracy again, an idea that encourages people to avoid rampant consumerism and, by modeling Christ, give of ourselves relationally and use our money for causes bigger than ourselves. One way Jacob's Well has been doing this is by raising money each year throughout advent to fund fresh-water wells for the Pekot tribe in Africa. I think JW has dug 4 wells already, and the goal is 10 for that region.

The words "awe and wonder" were the central theme of the messages during advent, and my friend Sam Lewis (a wonderful artist & illustrator) and I were asked to design t-shirts representing those themes that we could sell to raise money for the wells. (WONDER: Amber; AWE: Sam)

The shirts were printed by Storenvy, who happens to be owned & operated by my friends, Jon & Janette Crawford, and the quality was amazing. Check them out!
