The Power Of A Simple Gift December 16, 2011
Posted by rshort in : 3-Missions Projects , trackback
Our September-October Kid’s Quest missions project was Operation Christmas Child. Together we made 356 boxes filled with gifts and the Gospel message! A big thank you to all of you who gave offering, wrapped boxes, created cards, took family photos, filled boxes, and delivered boxes to the distribution center. We hope your participation in Operation Christmas Child has been a rewarding experience for your family and provided many teachable moments with your kids. Click here to see a video of Assembly Day.
For those of you who came to Assembly Day, you may have noticed a tracking label being placed on all the completed boxes. These labels enable us to keep tabs on what happens to our boxes after they are dropped off at the distribution center. We are excited to share with you that we received word that our boxes shipped last week and are on their way now to kids in the Baltics and Balkans region, Gabon, Iraq, and Niger. Please share this with your kids and be praying together for those who will be receiving our gifts and hearing the Gospel message for the first time. As we’ve shared before, children only receive this gift once in their lifetime. But don’t estimate the power of a simple gift! Watch the moving story of Lejla Allison whose life was forever changed by a simple shoe box.
