Soles for Jesus

Many of us take shoes for granted, yet for millions of people in rural Africa, a simple pair of shoes can mean access to school, employment, health, and dignity.

This week on MPC, we're joined by Diane Studer, Founder of Soles for Jesus, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit dedicated to sharing the love of Christ through foot washing, shoe distribution, and partnership with local leaders across Africa.

From a life-changing trip to Ethiopia to distributing more than 1 million pairs of shoes in 35 African countries, Diane shares how a single act of obedience grew into a global mission. She discusses the powerful impact shoes can have on education, health, and opportunity, and explains how anyone can make a difference through donating shoes, volunteering, hosting a shoe drive, or even joining a distribution trip.

SOLES FOR JESUSSoles for Jesus collects new and gently used shoes and distributes them free of charge to underserved communities throughout Africa. By partnering with local leaders, the organization helps provide access to education, employment, and improved health while sharing messages of hope and encouragement. Since its founding, Soles for Jesus has distributed more than 1 million pairs of shoes and continues to expand its reach across the continent.
