The Powerful Impact of
Operation Christmas Child!
In the mountains of Honduras, a team was organized to
deliver shoe box gifts to a village of 1,500 people that lived
a 4 hour hike from the nearest road. What an exhausting
task that required the team to hoist cartons of gifts on their
shoulders as they climbed the rocky, terraced path. It was
an exciting day when 275 children gathered to receive
gifts...the first that many of them had ever received. One
community leader was so moved by the distribution
and the Gospel message, that he offered a large tract of
land to build the first church in the area. Construction
supplies had to be hauled on shoulders or mules up the
same grueling trail. As the word of what the Lord was
doing spread, other communities asked the team to come
share the Gospel. Now God is moving in 7 different
communities and it all started with 275 shoe box gifts!
Help us pack a shoe box for Operation
Christmas Child! Visit the table in the
Main Foyer for a brochure with packing
instructions, packing ideas, and labels.
Don’t forget to include $7 for shipping.
This is a great outreach for families
and children are welcome to include a
note or coloring page for the box recipient. Boxes may be
returned, by November 16, to the Welcome Center. For
more information, contact Shelley Maxwell.
