Operation Christmas Child

Last week we were a collection site for people to drop off their shoe boxes filled with goodies to be sent to children overseas who wouldn't otherwise get a Christmas gift. Last year we collected and sent 444 boxes. Our goal this year was to hit the 600 mark. When Mike and Rose Mary left on Monday morning to deliver the boxes to the next drop off point they had 799 boxes! We met our goal and more! One little boy carried a box in and made the comment, "This is a lot closer than going to Africa!" That little boy truly knew what he was doing and a part of. Included in each box is a Gospel Tract with the message of Jesus in the child's own language. What an amazing gift! Thank you to everyone who packed a box and donated their time and energy to this cause. There will be many happy children who will feel special and loved this Christmas because of you!
