Our Story
Bearing Fruit for His Kingdom
Welcome to Vine and Branches Apparel! We are Carroll and Tricia Hoselton, along with our son, Hunter O'Daniel. Our business name comes directly from the words of Jesus in John 15:5: “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." For years, our family shared a deep burning desire to build a ministry that spreads the Gospel. In March of 2026, that prayerful dream became a reality. We officially stepped out in faith to launch this company, trusting in God's perfect timing.
A Heart for the Mission
Our faith is not just a belief; it is a calling to action. Obedient to the command in Mark 16:15 to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” our family has journeyed wherever the Lord led. Tricia and Carroll have been blessed to serve on several mission trips over the years:
- Jamaica: Sharing hope and building up local communities.
- The Gulf Coast: Bringing relief and comfort in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
- Romania: Crossing borders to witness God’s love transcend language and culture.
These hands-on experiences solidified our personal mission: to touch lives, comfort the hurting, and share the wonderful, unconditional love that Jesus Christ has for all of us.
Purpose Behind the Apparel
Vine and Branches Apparel exists to reach millions of people for Christ. We design clothing to serve two vital purposes:
1. To reach the lost: Creating bold, faith-filled designs that spark conversations and plant seeds of salvation (Romans 1:16).
2. To encourage fellow believers: Providing a visual reminder to stay rooted in Christ and wear your faith out loud (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
