Okay so I've been hooked on c28 for a few year now after finding my faith through s summer camp SAMBICA. Now I wore my NOTW shirts ever since I got them and have been getting good comments about them and the ever so often "How many Jesus shirts do you have?". But the shirts weren't the main thing. It was when I got this ring, the Man oof God mens ring. I bought this to remember what my mentor had taught me over the summer. I bought this as a reminder of who God has chosen me to be. The summer after I got this ring I met my match. I mean I was well known as the high energy, crazy, caring character always ready for a challenge and boy did God send one my way.

(I'll try to keep the story not too lengthy)

This kid about rung me dry he was the most high maintenance camper there so I was sent to go 1 on 1 with this kid all day until he left. This kid was a christian don't get me wrong he loved Jesus but wasn't on the right path. He wasn't respectful, caring or striving to become somthing. By grace the kid liked me already and we had fun.

Then he saw my ring and asked my what it was about. I read him the scripture and described what it meant. Then I told him what it meant to me and let him wear it. Oh I finally got somewhere! I tried every ounce of patience and support but by grace its the Lord who comes to our rescue. When he wore the ring he said it made him feel better and he promised me that he would try to be a Man of God. Then the last day before he left I gave him a Man of God mens ring which I bought to be his and I know hes doing good somewhere out there.

So its the littlest things that effect us the most connect with what you potray to people I still have my ring and still wear my shirts but I love the stories that come with them much more. Stories of faith, showing your connection to who you potray and who you want to be.

Btw: I'm only 16 :P

Oh that verse was this: 1 Tim 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
