pureNRG Returns from Mexico

Tween group pureNRG recently returned from a mission trip to Monterey, Mexico with representatives from Word Entertainment, Family Christian Stores, the James Fund and Back2Back Ministries.  The James Fund, aided by Payless ShoeSource, is coordinating a shoe distribution effort in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.  Thousands of new shoes are being purchased for orphans and needy children there in response to pureNRG’s The Real Thing pre-sale through Family Christian Stores earlier this year.  While in Mexico, the ministry team took care of children there by washing their feet, putting on fresh socks and then getting the children fitted for a new pair of shoes.

Steve Biondo, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Family Christian Stores and President of Family Christian Stores’ The James Fund, was part of the team that traveled to Mexico and said, “The work of distributing the shoes was a huge blessing and very emotional for the team. In the area we served, conditions are dramatically desperate, as families live with no running water, no plumbing, and in shelters made of discarded debris. We washed hundreds of precious feet, fitted the children for shoes, placed new socks on their feet, and then put new shoes on their feet. And really, that is what it was all about – showing the kids that they are loved, respected, and valued by Jesus.”

In addition to serving the children of Monterey, pureNRG helped patch roofs and put on a free concert during their stay. “Our favorite part of the mission trip was washing the kids’ feet and giving them new shoes,” stated pureNRG. “We hated to leave them and can’t wait to go back and see them again soon!”
