What will my TOMS look like?

Through churchrelevance.com today I landed at Donald Miller's website where he talks about a guy named Blake Mycoskie who started a shoe company called Toms Shoes. The idea is that for every pair of shoes he sells, he gives a pair to a child in another country who doesn't have any.
What a great idea!

Please read Donald Miller's post, watch a video of Blake giving shoes away, visit the Toms Shoes website and, if you feel led, buy a pair of shoes (or a shirt).

This has got me thinking about what I could do to help people in need. I don't know if Blake knows Jesus or not, but I do so I should be constantly looking for ways to serve.

I randomly found your blog while looking at more stuff for TOMS. I just wanted to thank you for the support that you are giving all of here at TOMS and especially all the children that we (you included) are able to help. We are leaving to go to South Africa in about 3 weeks and we will be able to give away around 50,000 pairs of shoes to children in need, b/c of people like you.

Also, to answer a rhetorical question you had, Blake is a believer. A couple of us are her at TOMS. Not everyone is.

Anyways, thanks so much and if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to email at bradotts@tomsshoes.com or call me at (512) 484-7939.

I work as a National Accoun Exec/Special Event/Designer.

Thanks again.
Cheers,
