Shoebox Collection Starts Next Week!
National Collection Week (Nov. 13–20) is just one week away! If you haven't yet packed an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift, there's still time to shop for "wow" toys, school supplies, and other fun items that will delight the heart of a child in need.
Recently in Kenya, shoeboxes were given out in an extremely remote village where 13-year-old Christine lives. Christine has never attended school because the nearest one is 16 miles away. She cannot read or write, and she looks after goats and camels during the day. When she received a shoebox gift, she was overjoyed and immediately enrolled in The Greatest Journey to learn more about Jesus. She never missed a lesson and graduated from the course. Praise God, she gave her life to the Lord and is committed to following Christ and sharing Him with her family and friends!
“I am determined to hold firm to the Greatest Gift, Jesus Christ, my Savior,” she said. “Thank you Operation Christmas Child for reaching out to me as far away as I live.”
— Christine

Declare His glory among the nations!
Psalm 96:3
