In His Shoes is an organization which rallies support for those who suffer in the world. Our actions are based on Christ’s principles of love and compassion as expressed in Armenian Orthodoxy.
In His Shoes was created in response to acts of Genocide perpetrated against the Armenian nation in 1915. Those who have suffered evil have a responsibility to take action against injustice to others. In His Shoes provides aid through rallies, information programs and fund raisers.
In His Shoes is a non-profit faith based organization. It is established on the Christian principle of repaying evil with good. Membership and participation in the organization is open to members of all religious backgrounds and persuasions.
As tensions flare in the world and as the quest for peace needs to be answered it is essential to find new metaphors to answer violence.
In His Shoes is a unique organization because it transcends ethnic and religious differences and focuses on the only thread common to the human condition: suffering. In contrast to the political and military response to violence, In His Shoes International challenges people to find the terms which define us as a human race, namely understanding and compassion.
Through its projects and programs, In His Shoes brings diverse people on the world stage into a common room and with models for peaceful living. At the very least, In His Shoes sponsored programs promote understanding among a variety of groups. On the extreme side, it promotes the highest ideals of peace.
