More than you could ever want to know about Jason Coker...

I'm a husband, a father of 4, and the chief geek in my household. I was born and raised in southern California, lived in the mountains of Utah for 11 years, and then Columbus, Ohio for 4 years. Now were back in California and settled in the cool little town of Oceanside.

My wife Jenell and I started twoshirts.org as an experiment in cultivating a community of generosity in Columbus. Since January of 2008 we've grown to over 1200 people in 35 states, and we're constantly amazed by the goodness and generosity of the people we meet through this unique community.

lillimetz said: Oh dear, I seem to have had a blonde moment. I was requesting an item & I flagged it so I could get back to it easily... Then I realized "flagging" means something else. I contacted Norett to see if I had messed anything up, but I'm not sure if she is the right person to contact for that. Is there any way you could help me get all of this straightened out? Thanks, lillimetz

lillimetz said: Hey Jason, James Christoferson mentioned twoshirts from the pulpit the other day. I'm so blessed that he did. What an awesome thing God has used you to set up! I was wondering if there might be any way to "flag" items that are small enough to mail so people form opposite sides of the county could minister to one another, just a thought… Thank you so much for this ministry God is using it in incredible ways!

solefite said: Hey, I met you last friday morning at a men's group. I work for starbucks and have asked them to participate. If you could email me at solefite@gmail.com I would like to speak with you concerning this. Thanks for your time.

Jason Coker said: Thanks for your kind remarks Melinda, it's good to have you here! Regards, Jason

mdavies700 said: Hi Jason, Not sure if you remember me but I attended the Vineyard while you were there. You prayed for and with me more times than I can count and helped me through more than you know. I went to another church for a while and came back to find out you were gone. It is not quite the same without you but I am glad to see you are doing well. What you and your wife have started is wonderful (not that I am surprised). Anyways, just wanted to say hey. God Bless, Melinda Davies

sarahchristoph said: Just wanted to shout out a Thank you to you and your wife Jenell for starting twoshirts! I have already made a new friend from my church after meeting up with her to give her my item. I really think this service provides a great way for communities to get together and help each other. I have high hopes for Living Hope in that I see so many in our church who view and desire our community to be much more than a term of location for church or town, but the reality and result of our lives connecting and serving. Thanks again for doing this! I'll be sure to spread the word.

kitkat09 said: We sure do Miss Yall. Hope things are good. Happy Thanksgiving &Happy Holidays to all Yall and wanted to say we're still attending the Vineyard(Thanks to yall) Going on 9 months now faithfully..!!!But still miss yall all the same . Love Yall,Kat

blessed1 said: Hi Jason/Jennell!!! It appears your family has settled well in CA! Praise God. My family's prayers are with you. I need for you to contact me regarding the Westside food giveaway. I am part of the new leadership council at GCV. It would be great if you could help shed some light on some of the details of the important work that needs to continue. If you could contact me and allow me to pick your brain, I will greatly appreciate it. Please pray for us as we take God's love and generosity to those in need! Thanks!

columbusgal said: I wanted to thank you for the table and bike I picked up from you the other day. My daughter was thrilled. I also wanted to let you know it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and your wife. Such wonderful people. I wish you lots of positive vibes and blessings during your transition. Lots of love happiness and success. Take care and keep in touch!

hannah81591 said: I don't see a "claim this item" button...?

Jason Coker said: lindsey - should be activated now. columbusgal - thank! and you're welcome!

columbusgal said: OK Jason, we have a New York member who I invited today, I am working on getting New York as involved as Ohio is with the site! Thanks for such an awesome site and for what you have done for me personally!!!

Lindseynor said: how do I post a need. It isnt on my menu at all not even when Im logged in.

Jason Coker said: I'll shoot you an e-mail so we can get this figured out. Thanks!

mamawto3 said: Jason i was just wondering something and i didnt know where to go to ask,I have claimed a couple of things and have never gotten a responce back from the people .Its been about 5 weeks now and the items are still on your site.Iv emailed them several times is there something im not doing right?

columbusgal said: it was! thanks so much! I also wanted to thank you for creating such an awesome place for us all to come together in. I love the site and hope it grows in leaps and bounds. This has certainly restored my faith in man kind. Thank you for all you do!!!

Jason Coker said: should be fixed, check it now. thanks!

columbusgal said: I was just told about this site today and have already given and received items. I am lost as to posting a Need/Want post. I found how to make an offer for an item to give away but in "My Twoshirts Menu" it only lists: view profile, post item to give, forum topic, my items, share story, invite friends and log out. I read there should be something that says there should be one for need/want but it is not there....What do I do??? How do I make a post for something I am looking for???

NSVark said: Jason- Greetings!! I am very interested in your web-site created from the demand generated by the absolute need revealed as you launched twoshirts.org in your area. Currently I am working with my church, Northstar Vineyard in Loveland OH with creating a site that would edify the church's members and create equality amongst the people--sharing the overflow of harvest much of us experience. A lot of fancy words that essentially mean--we have a lot of blessed people and some people in need that need to share their resources. Not just things, skills too. We are strong in loving the marginalized of our community, but there are people within our community that have been marginalized by the economy--and quite frankly, on THAT front, things look bleak. Long story--longer....I would be very interested in chatting with you. Email is fine at first (nsvark@yahoo.com) so you know I am not some quack (well that is relative, I am sure and debatable)--but again, I would love to know the path you've walked to avoid the potholes myself. Blessing, Stephanie

Jason Coker said: thanks noahsmom06, I appreciate your encouragement! - Jason

noahsmom06 said: Hi Jason, I just joined the site recently and am trying to get some other local people interested... but in the meantime, I go to the Vineyard church out here (in Ft. Collins, CO) with my boyfriend who's a member there, and I think that it would be an excellent idea for you to contact someone at the church here, because I think they would probably be quite supportive of the efforts of this site, and it would be a great way to increase membership and get a good group and a good ministry going here in northern Colorado. Just a suggestion! ;) And also, I am a HyenaCart seller and forum user (and occasional buyer, when I have the funds and the need), and I wanted to let you know that I just found out about the thread there regarding the site, read the whole thing, and was very impressed with your responses and the way you handled the situation. I responded to the thread saying that I had joined the site, and that I strongly encourage others from HC to give the site another look and consider joining as well. HyenaCart is for the most part a very "green" community, and I hope that some of the people who read that thread will reconsider joining Twoshirts, as it is a great concept that I think many of them would support had they learned about it under different circumstances.

Hiskid said: Thank you Mr. Coker for the book "Evidence That Damands A Verdict". My husband has wanted to read this book for a while and now has the chance to thanks to your generosity!

Jason Coker said: Thanks, mbender, for alerting me to this incident. I'll be in touch through the HyenaCart forums and we'll get this issue resolved. Regards, Jason Coker Twoshirts.org Team

mbender07 said: Hello Jason. I was one of the HyenaCart owners that was mass spammed by one of your team members. I would like to forward you all of the communication from him as I highly did not appreciate the things he said, nor would I think you would be happy with how he has represented this site. Ironically enough, I found no email to be able to directly contact you from this site, so I am asking that you please contact me privately about this. I apologize for even having to leave a public comment in regards to this as it is not my style to publicly air things out, but I know of no other way to contact you. Thanks.

neece281 said: Hi Jason, My mom lives in New Albany, Indiana. Is there any way that the site could be expanded to her town? She loves the idea and would love to get involved but fears that location will prevent her. Thanks in advance. Denise

parranjj said: bro, gotta say, it is sooooo encouraging to really see Xians utilizing their tools and resources to faithfully live out what Jesus taught us. Many thank yous for your faithfulness, and many more for HIS. i'm looking forward to the days to come and getting to (hopefully) know you and the others here better. blessings, mate.
