Over the past few years I have been enjoying packing a shoebox at Christmas with my granddaughters for Operation Christmas Child. Last year our church joined in and we packed 169 shoe boxes. This year my granddaughters, our church and the Palmyra Kindermusik classes got involved. Altogether we packed 199 shoeboxes! Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful ministry of Samaritan’s Purse founded by Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham.
In this video you can follow the journey of 2 shoe boxes (packed by my granddaughters) from decorating, to wrapping, and packing, then joining many others on the ride to the drop-off location, when the real journey begins sending hope and love to children around the world.
Just found out this week that the Palmyra Brethren In Christ Church shoe boxes went to Ukraine, Malawi, Columbia and Iraq.
Thanks to everyone who made the Operation Christmas Child project such a blessing to so many!
