About
The We Love You Project was created simply to send help and love to the families and communities affected by a broken world.
To add some beauty to ugliness.
To stand for the struck down.
We believe in a loving God- one who put on the same fragile flesh we wear. One who sought out the afflicted. One who drew the downtrodden to himself. Sometimes reactive... sometimes proactive... but always active, moving, giving of himself until his very life was offered for the sake of others.
We cannot presume to be as perfect in compassion, or as enduring in fortitude as he is.
But we will try.
The T-shirts for sale on this site go for $15, over half of which will be sent out to the places of need.
The same phrase is upon each- "We Love You."
Take a picture wearing it, and email the picture to us (pics AT weloveyouproject DOT com). In doing so- the desire is that we will do more than simply throw money at grief. We will attach ourselves to the hurting. We will choose to embrace their struggle.
Without a translator- the message will be received by those who need that expression of solidarity and hope most of all.

You think now your job is to be an unpaid doctor, to run around and plug up holes and make everything …

Japan - The Details
Someone told me I should attach some more detail about my forthcoming trip across the sea (points for anyone who got the Weezer reference), so here you are:
Back in August of 2008, I was invited to be a part of a Homestay program down in Florida. All I knew going in …

Here I am, people... Send me.
I have to go to Japan.
As in... have to.
It's a compelling draw, one which the past few weeks has seen fit to damper. I've been bogged down with worry and interpersonal nonsense, obligation, sin, frustration, hidden fights and hiding from fights.
But I still have to …

Merry Christmas to all!
Enjoy your families and friends, but most of all, enjoy Jesus.

i think it's equally as easy to be compassionate as it is hard... case in point: the we love you project-
another 'IF' bites the dust!
