ShoeBoxes of Love: One Week Until Collection Week!

One Week Until Collection Week!

Operation Christmas Child is right around the corner! You still have time to pack a shoebox... as Collection Week is Nov 12-19. If you need info about Operation Christmas Child, about what to pack in a shoebox, or where to bring your box, you can click the OCC link in the sidebar. I have been so busy working with organizing Packing Parties and planning for Collection Week that I haven't even finished my OWN boxes... but I have lots of fun stuff to add ready to go. I may not have finished my boxes, but I am praying for the children that receive my boxes... that their hearts are being prepared EVEN NOW... and the boxes I pack will find their way to the children for whom it will be an answer to prayer or in a meaningful way show Christ's love for the child. Spend some time reading the stories or watching the videos in the impact section and see that God IS working through these shoeboxes. Get inspired and get motivated. There is still time to pack an awesome box that is an answer to prayer!

HI!!! I am Rhonda and I am a year round volunteer with Operation Christmas Child here in the Klamath Area and in case you couldn't tell yet, I LOVE OCC!

I hope that at this blog you are inspired to pack boxes, to pray, and to share the news about Operation Christmas Child with others in your life.

To God be the glory!

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:14-15)

DROP OFF LOCATION

The Drop Off sites around the nation are now all closed.

If you already packed a shoebox you can mail it. Learn more at http://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/drop-off-locations/

Or if you learned about it too late this year, or time slipped away, you can still build a shoebox online at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ The boxes built online can be more expensive, especially if you are a sale shopper BUT they have all approved items and can go anywhere in the world, including areas where there are many restrictions, such as Muslim nations. So please consider this option if you still want to do a box.

And it is NEVER too early to start shopping and crafting towards next years' boxes! There are still hundreds of millions of children around the world in desperate poverty and needing the love of Jesus.
