• Christmas Ministry Idea

  Here is a Christmas ministry idea if you're interested... Our church was promoting "Operation Christmas Child" yesterday and the video they showed literally brought tears to my eyes as I saw the faces of children around the world given shoeboxes full of necessities and fun stuff while being presented with the gospel.  We may only be able to send a shoebox full of items to help them in their current circumstances, but we have the opportunity to give them an eternity with our Savior, free from the suffering of their current circumstances.  I've heard of this opportunity many times before but have never been impacted by it quite like this and wanted to pass the info along for those of you who might be interested in particpating with us.  I've included links below with the video we saw yesterday and instructions for the boxes if you're interested.  The deadline to receive the boxes is in November so we only have a few more weeks to do this even if you're not ready to think about the holidays yet... this could be a great way to start your Christmas shopping this year. =)
