Operation Christmas Child

Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ. http://www.samaritanspurse.org
 

Packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes with the boys has become a tradition. Explaining the purpose to a four and three year old brings up a lot of questions. We end up discussing...
  • poverty/third world countries
  • orphans
  • our responsibility to help and give
I am thankful for this ministry as it is a tangible way to teach my boys about how we show Jesus' love by helping those in need.
 
We did boxes for boys that are ages 2-4 and we included photos and letters. 
 

 
They want to hand deliver the boxes to the children...I love their hearts!!
Then they asked if they could give boxes to Tyler and Caroline...their friends at the Y.
Moment over! =)
