First Operation Christmas Child Training of the season

After the local churches have been invited to participate in Operation Christmas Child (OCC), they are gathered for an information and training session of using the shoeboxes and children’s literature to evangelize in their communities. 

 

At our first OCC information/training session in Tlaxcala, pastors and leaders

from 21 churches/home studies/cell groups arrived!  All seemed very excited to hear about the vision and resources offered through this ministry. 

Leaders from one church approached us afterwards to share their plans to reach multiple groups of children in their area- believing that God had sovereignly placed each leader of the church in contact with different

children (either at a school, around a family business, on the outskirts of town, etc.) that could receive a shoebox and hear the Gospel. We love to see the Holy Spirit already directing their evangelism efforts to specific children around them!

 

My favorite part of the session includes training the churches to

share the gospel message with children- in a clear, concise and visual way (understandable even to a young audience).  Such a joy to teach and provide materials for churches to speak of Jesus Christ in a Biblical, understandable way! 

 

We are praying for each for each of these churches that will participate in

OCC this year in our state of Tlaxcala!
