why t-shirts?

Why the T-shirt? Reading the T-shirt is instantaneous, it is bold and it is short, your brain has read it before you know that you have read it. The truth is, that we live in a dark world system that is attempting to silence the Christian through intimidation and Satan has been very successful in his strategy and it gets worse for Christians every day. It sounds like this: “Your message is so exclusive, What do you mean, Jesus is the ONLY way? That is so offensive, there are many roads to heaven!”
As a result, we have modified our theology, giving us an excuse to not share the gospel with others. Most Christians I talk to say that “it is not my gifting,” in spite of the fact that our Lord COMMANDS each one of us to share the Gospel. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus says "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
In fact that is our purpose for living in this world. Matthew 6:33 says "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." As an evangelist, I have questioned many so-called “mature Christians (over 10 years since they said they accepted Christ)
“Why have you never shared Christ with anyone?”
Their response is usually, “I need to know more about the Gospel”
Really? In Mark 1:15, Jesus said, “Repent and Believe.” Seems pretty simple to me. Or maybe, if you are truthful with yourself you realize that you are “ashamed” of the Gospel. Repentance is in order. Jesus is quite frank on this issue in Mark 8:38 and Luke 9:26, “if you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you!"
Wearing the Trust Jesus T-Shirt is such an easy way to proclaim the Gospel. It's a ministry in itself. You become a billboard for Jesus, lifting his name in front of every person you see. You don’t have to say anything, you are wearing what you believe. It is BOLD and they cannot “UNSEE" it. The word Believe in Greek is Pistis, which is translated to “Trust” in the English language. You can lift up the name of Jesus publicly, by simply wearing the Trust Jesus T-shirt. Jesus says in John 12:32, “If I be lifted up I will draw all men to myself.” The message “Trust Jesus” is the heart of the gospel. We are certain that you will be encouraged as well. Will you lift Him up for all to see?
