After
unloading all the shoeboxes, we distribute the gifts to the participating
churches around the state. We call each
church to come pick up their boxes for their Christmas evangelistic events.
This has
definitely been my favorite part of our “Operation Christmas Child”
participation yet! I loved meeting the
pastors and children’s teachers from around the state who came to pick up their
shoeboxes and discipleship resources. They
seemed overjoyed and amazed
at the Lord’s provision for their ministries- and
were all excitedly planning their children’s events.
This truly
is an amazing ministry that unites Christ’s body internationally. So many volunteers make this ministry
possible: families in the US that buy the gifts, those that pack the boxes,
those that ship, those that distribute, the churches that plan their events and
share the Gospel… all around the world!
Paco and I are so blessed to be part of it!
