About
Mission
To shine the light of Christ in a world of sin and darkness by promoting and selling clothing with hopeful, Gospel-centered messages.
Vision
To ultimately point others to the truth and hope of the Gospel, through exposure to Biblical messages, and, hopefully through some personal conversations - perhaps started because of Sparrow Apparel products.
While most of this apparel cannot share the good news of the Gospel in its entirety, each design is meant to share the hope, joy, and love that comes from knowing Christ as your Savior and Lord. If anyone who reads the messages on these shirts is pointed towards Christ, then that is a blessing. If these shirts can become a conversation starter for us to share the Gospel with others, ourselves, then that is incredible.
It is my prayer that this apparel will be worn and talked about all for the glory of God and the growth of His Kingdom!
Why the name, "Sparrow Apparel"?
The idea for this brand came to me at a time when my family was dealing with some financial struggles. We kept praying and trusting in God's provision. Some of my favorite Bible verses on His providence and protection came to mind, and it just so happens that they relate to birds:
"Consider the birds of the sky: They don't sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they?" ~ Matthew 6:26
"He will cover you with his feathers; you will take refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield." ~ Psalm 91:4
My favorite hymn is also "His Eye is on the Sparrow," written by Civilla D. Martin. I highly suggest giving it a listen or at least reading through the lyrics of this beautiful song, if you aren't familiar with it. This hymn never ceases to bring joyful tears to my eyes, and it gives me a sense of peace when I am reminded "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me."
The fact that the God who created the universe cares for every aspect of our lives is breathtaking. And if he cares enough to provide for one of the smallest birds, then I know I can trust Him to provide for me and be enough for me, when the material things of this earth seem to be lacking.
For these reasons, the name "Sparrow Apparel" just seemed to roll off my tongue. It serves as a reminder of God's provision, protection, and perfect goodness.
