OUR STORY
Built on Faith.
Pretty Feet Gospel was created from a personal testimony a journey of obedience, faith and purpose.
Wear the message. Live the mission.
The Seed (2018)
My name is Michele, and I am the founder of Pretty Feet Gospel. I often say I am the founder but not the only partner. This vision was born from obedience, and my true Partner is the Lord. What you see today is not simply a brand; it is the fruit of surrender.
The seed was planted in 2018 during a mission's series at my local church. Our pastors were teaching about the heart of God for the nations and reminding us that a church cannot be truly grounded if it ignores the mission field.
During our Faith Promise season, one message marked me deeply. Its title was Pretty Feet.
At the end of that sermon, the questions removed every excuse. Not everyone can travel overseas, but everyone can do something. We can go, we can pray, we can serve locally, and we can send others through our finances.
One question would not leave me: How can you use your gifts and abilities for the Kingdom?
How could I turn what God had already placed in my hands into something that advanced His mission?
I remember writing words that felt like a covenant: “God tells us to go and witness, but most of us think He will call someone else. No. He is calling me. He is calling you. If He asks, ‘Whom shall I send?’ will my answer be, ‘Here I am’?” The desire was real, but I was not ready.
Though I was in church, I was not spiritually healthy. There were wounds to heal and motives to refine.
The idea was planted in 2018, but the soil of my heart needed transformation.
Refinement and Waiting
Then came 2019, and then COVID. In that stillness, God began stretching and maturing me. The vision remained dormant, not dead — just waiting.
Years later, during a national Christian arts competition (FINE Arts), I walked through a convention center filled with young people expressing their faith through creativity. I could not stop noticing the colorful shirts, message-driven, bold declarations of belief. Something inside me began to awaken again.
The next morning, before heading back to the convention, we were watching the Olympics. A commentator described the diver’s beautifully positioned feet, and a young man traveling with us joked about his own “beautiful toes.” In that moment, everything rushed back.
Pretty Feet.
The message.
The calling.
The seed.
The Percentage
When the idea first came years before, I had tried to start something, thinking I might give 10% to missions. But it was still partly about me.
I remember cleaning a kitchen during a house cleaning job when I felt the Lord pressing something into my heart: forty percent. It felt big but the refinement was not over.
As I began building the website from scratch with no investors, no large-scale manufacturing, no designers, just obedience, I sensed something stronger:
Not 40% but “50%… plus 10.”
Not 60%. Not “50% plus tithe.”
Simply “50% plus 10.”
That meant I would keep 40%.
Stewardship
Around that same period, our church launched a multi-year fundraising campaign for renovations. Different groups were assigned specific responsibilities, and I was asked to lead the spiritual team organizing 21 days of prayer, fasting plans, and spiritual emphasis.
As our group met and prayed about what should shape the campaign, one theme became unmistakably clear: Stewardship.
How do we faithfully use what God has entrusted to us for His Kingdom?
That word echoed again and again, reinforcing what God had already been working in my heart.
Later, near the end of last year, while driving home from church with my daughter, my niece, and my sister-in-law, I shared the full story of how God had increased the percentage step by step, almost as if testing whether this was about me or about Him.
A few days later, my sister-in-law said something that deeply marked me:
“Have you realized why God asked for 50 plus 10? If He has 60% and you have 40%, then He is the majority partner. You work for Him.”
That perspective confirmed what I already knew in my spirit. This is His. I may steward it, but He owns it.
Pretty Feet Gospel
Slowly, Pretty Feet became Pretty Feet Gospel.
The verse the Lord placed in my heart was Isaiah 52:7:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.”
Later I discovered the original sermon had been preached from Romans 8, which ultimately echoes Isaiah. Even in that detail, God confirmed the foundation. He gave me the source.
Seven years passed from the planting of the seed to the visible birth of the movement. In Scripture, seven represents completion and perfection.
In 2026, in what felt like God’s perfect timing, the vision was no longer dormant. What began in 2018 as a stirring became, in the seventh year, something tangible, formed not by haste, but by refinement.
Pretty Feet Gospel is not just apparel. It is a declaration. A reminder.
A response to the question, “Whom shall I send?” And my answer remains the same:
Here I am.
