Kerusso

Through the last 23 years, Kerusso has distributed more than 10 million garments bearing messages that challenge and encourage prople to seek to know the God of the universe through His Son, Jesus

Vic Kennett, Kerusso's founder, said "From the beginning, my mission has been to simply do my best to obey Jesus when He said 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." The company started up as a home business that Vic operated in his spare time, and has grown into the premier producer of message-wear. Kerusso means 'to preach' in Greek.

Kerusso has always been a giving company, strongly committed to tithing. They have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, and thousands of T-shirts, to churches, boys' and girls' ranches, women's shelters, disaster groups and other charities nationwide. Kerusso is a wholly American owned-and-operated company with their production facility in Eureka, Arkansas.

According to Impressions magazine, a graphic T-shirt will be read as many as 3000 times in its existence. Kennett says "Even if every one of our shirt were seen and read by only 100 people each, then we've helped to preach the gospel nearly a billion time. My heart is to thank the retailers who have been with us for giving us a platform to preach from."
