Carry the gospel with you.
At Written Word we believe the good news of the Gospel should be carried with us in all aspects of our lives. Our desire is for Jesus to penetrate the deepest places in our hearts, overflowing outward to all we come in contact with. We pray that by creating Gospel centered attire more eyes will be exposed to the Word, more conversations will be started, and that more people will move closer to saying 'yes' to Jesus.
Meet the man behind the shirts.
Hi – I am Emmanuel, the founder of Written Word. I have always been amazed that God allows us to participate in His work – that our influence can shape eternity. In 2016, while praying for God to reveal His next steps for me and my family, the vision for Written Word was formed. I began to focus on the power that words have over our lives – what we speak, what we see, what we hear. While meditating on this, I realized how our attire (what we wear) is a mouthpiece – we are truly walking billboards, often advertising our favorite sports team or fashion brand. What would it look like if the Gospel was visible in our day-to-day attire – what if we became walking billboards for His words? Imagine the exposure the Gospel would get in a single day through our attire. Imagine the seeds that could be planted, the conversations that could be triggered or the questions that could be asked.
So, I designed a few shirts, prayed over them and began wearing them regularly. The shirts have given me opportunities to connect with new people and share the Gospel in a new way.
Let’s get it straight – t-shirts do not transform lives, Jesus does. We’re here to do out part in spreading His word – one t-shirt at a time.
