Operation Christmas Child Speaker

If you’ve ever wondered what difference a simple shoebox gift could make, you would be greatly encouraged to hear the testimonies shared at the Operation Christmas Child event.

A pastor from Africa (left) shared the benefit of the shoe box ministry for his church as thousands of children from the surrounding villages came to receive a gift and hear about the love of Jesus.

Timur (right) was an orphan in Central Asia who received a shoe box gift.  He recalled his joy over the simple gifts of toothpaste, pencils and a yo-yo. After being in an orphanage for 16 years, Timur was adopted by an American family and is now in seminary for ministry.

What difference does a shoebox make?  It makes all the difference in the world to the one who receives it. For more information on Operation Christmas Child and how you can change a child’s destiny, click here.
