THE STORYLINE OF REDEMPTION
The story of Redemption Shirts began on a long, tiring bus ride to New Orleans in the Fall of 2005. Uncharted territory and relationships were on the cuff, yet we were full of unexplainable excitement and wonder. Little did I know what would become of the time and conversations shared during this service to the people affected by the flooding of hurricane Katrina. It was my first semester at Lee University, after transferring from West Georgia, and these relationships were all new to me. And, above all the noise and clutter of this glorious weekend stood alone the remarkable thought that just a handful of us “normal” people could affect such a change in a people and community. I talked with a fellow laborer and new found friend, Gabe, and we came up with a few realistic ways in which we could make a difference in the lives of the people affected by hurricane Katrina once we got back to little old Lee University. The end result after some time of trial and error was something we now call Redemption Shirts.
