The Journey of a shoebox begins in prayer. Ask God to prepare the hearts of children to experience His love through Operation Christmas child. Pack a shoebox, using school supplies, hygiene needs, hard candy, and small items of clothing or toys. Enclose $7.00 for shipping. Mark it for a boy or girl and suitable age for your gifts. Bring to Gasper River Assoc Office, Drakes’ Farm Service or take to First Baptist Church by NOV 18. From there they will be transported to Forrest Park Baptist Church and from there to Boone, North Carolina by tractor trailer. At Boone they will be inspected, Christian Literature in their language will be added and packed for war torn, poverty stricken nations all over the world. WE have people from Butler County that are volunteering to go to Boone to work in this process. What a wonderful opportunity. A 10 year old girl in Guadalajara, Mexico named Karen received a shoebox and had never heard about Jesus. She is now sharing the gospel with her siblings and cousins. She is happy because she has received a New Testament in her studies of The Greatest Journey – a 12 lesson discipleship course – that came through the Shoebox program. AGAIN, PRAY FOR YOUR SHOEBOX!
