stop the presses

by Stefanie on February 6, 2010

We anticipated releasing HOPE for sale on the 5th. But due to unforeseen issues as we took HOPE to print, we’ve had to delay the release. And literally, stop the presses.

We expect that HOPE will be ready to officially release on or around the 12th, but we will keep you posted as we know more.

We are all very excited to get HOPE released and begin raising funds to send to Haiti! But we just can’t move forward with a new tee until it’s just right. We are considering some changes in the design at this point to ensure that the final product is perfect.

Do know that we’re working diligently to get all the modifications finalized so HOPE will be ready as soon as possible.

And we know, hiccups, glitches and all… God’s timing is ALWAYS perfect!

Stay tuned!

HOPE. for Haiti.

by Stefanie on February 3, 2010


We’d like to introduce our newest charity tee.

HOPE.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of HOPE will go to Eyes Wide Open International, to help the people of Haiti.

“Eyes Wide Open International (EWOI) activates, mobilizes, and encourages people to join us and work alongside local and global partners in providing relief to those in the midst of crisis and human suffering.”

David Bompart, co-founder of EWOI, arrived in Haiti on January 22nd with a team of 4 others, and 20+ bags of donated medical supplies. He brings to the Haitian people not only the experience from having worked with the UN in crisis situations, but more importantly a heart for the hurting, a love for children, a fluency in Creole, and a servant’s heart.

Nicolle Bompart, David’s wife, will depart for Haiti on March 12th with a fresh team of servants and bags of fresh supplies to meet up with David. Jointly, they will expand their reach to the widows, children, and others suffering. Research is being done, discussions being had, and plans are being made for long-term, life-changing impact.

David has shared that even in the midst of incredible pain and crisis, that the Haitian people are constantly saying “THANK YOU” for the kindness being shown to them. At one point, in the medical tent in which he was serving, the Haitians being cared for broke out into a spontaneous song of praise and worship. The doctors, nurses and others there serving joined them in their time of giving thanks.

We at Wild Olive are so excited to be able to offer up an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ by giving directly to a charity working in the field, side by side, with those who are suffering. 100% of the proceeds of HOPE will go directly to this effort in Haiti.

Additionally, we are offering you an opportunity to bless someone in Haiti with a Wild Olive tee. Once HOPE is released for sale (on Friday, February 12th), you will have the opportunity to order, at a discounted price, a Wild Olive tee that will be sent with EWOI and delivered to someone in Haiti. If you chose to purchase a tee to bless another, you will also have the opportunity to purchase another tee for yourself at the discounted price. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the additional tee will also go directly to help those in Haiti.

Pretty sweet deal, huh?

HOPE will be available for sale on Friday, February 12th. Be sure to visit our store then and purchase a tee to support EWOI and it’s humanitarian efforts in Haiti.

Also coming very soon, a giveaway.

To help us spread the word.

So we can, collectively, help those suffering in Haiti. And offer HOPE.
