Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes Special Items to Show Our Care For The Children! OCC

Let's make all of our shoeboxes great by including appropriate personal care items for the children. The goal is that they will feel loved by God and decide to make Jesus the LORD of their life. If including a variety of color, texture, and sound to my box will help move the child toward God, I'm in! AND since Franklin Graham issued his urgent plea for more toys and school supplies, let's heed the call! This is one way we can build the kingdom of God and help others get an education that will make them able to read the Bible and start businesses and build strong communities and a better world! *WOW TOY IDEAS that will show love: Soccer Balls + pump and needles, Plush, Barbies with accessories, Trains, Big Cars-Trucks-Boats-Planes, Dolls wrapped in a blanket. Let's make sure our shoeboxes are overflowing with love (don't forget the personal note) so the children will feel the love of an unknown God and an unknown stranger, and be stirred with a desire to get to know God and receive Jesus as their Savior when they hear the Gospel message! Watch Yves Dushime's story: From Hatred to Love on blessingsinashoebox.com. It's the first video on the page of videos. His podcast with Kristi Graham is even more enthralling. His testimony underscores the importance of school supplies in a shoebox! Are you interested in an eternal relationship with Jesus Christ? Believe in Jesus, admit you have sinned and ask him to forgive your sins. Trust in Him and receive him as your Savior. Read all about God in the Bible, starting in Genesis with creation to understand God and sin and the punishment for sin. Also, read the New Testament to understand what Jesus did, so that we could have forgiveness and redemption from sin. The Bible reveals God's plan for his children and the world. It tells us that Jesus will come soon for his children and we get to live forever with him! We are blessed to have the Bible so we can know all about him. I am very glad I can participate with Operation Christmas Child to bring the good news of Jesus and eternal life to the children around the world who have never heard about him. We are making a difference for eternity! Shoebox Prayer: Dear God, Carry this box to the right destination. And prepare this child to receive salvation When she hears of your love.

We're trying to include all of those items in our shoeboxes this year! Don't forget to make Love Letters for all your shoeboxes AND fillers! We were inspired by Yves Dushime who praises God for the Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift he received when he was 11 years old living in Togo. It was the first gift he ever received, and God used it to help turn his heart from hatred to love. The note in his shoebox changed the course of his life!
