EXTRA BENEFITS - Wearing an Abort73 shirt to school everyday will almost certainly label you as a little bit strange. That’s OK. If you’re a believer, that’s actually a very good thing. Romans 12:2 tells us to not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. One of the most basic and obvious ways that the average Christian high schooler conforms to the culture around them is through the clothes they wear. Think of it this way. There are 1000 students at the average high school. Each year a quarter of those students graduate and another quarter takes their place. Over four years, you’ll go to school with 1,750 different students, and chances are you don’t have anywhere near 1,750 friends. This means that, unless you’re a star athlete or the class president, the vast majority of your peers will only know you by two things, the way you look and the way you dress. So what will people conclude of you based on this simple criteria? If you’re a Christian, and you wear the same brands across your chest as all your unbelieving peers, the subtle message is “I want to be just like everyone else... I’m committed to wearing what’s fashionable.” If you don’t wear the same brands and messages as everyone else, though, you suddenly start to stand out, and this fact alone, may open to you all sorts of new evangelistic opportunities.
THE LOGISTICS - For those who will commit to wearing an Abort73 T-shirt everyday for an entire semester (at least four out of five days each week), we will provide you with the necessary gear at a price that is less than it costs us to produce. This is not a money-making scheme. You will also receive your own Abort73 email address and the opportunity to chronicle any of your Abort73-related interactions in an online journal that will be linked from our site. As the program grows, we’ll begin to list participating high schools as we take aim at eventually reaching all 22,000.
If you’re a high school or junior high student who would like to do something a little radical this semester in application of Proverbs 24:11 and Ephesians 5:11. This is your opportunity. If you’re not a student, but you would like to see this program succeed and grow, please make a tax-free donation to help us produce more gear, send out more mailings in support of this project and start to purchase ad space in leading Christian periodicals. This is your opportunity to invest in a better eternity for American young people.
