As the air turns a bit cooler and the leaves burst forth with magnificent color, it’s that time again to help spread the name of Jesus around the world through the power of a simple shoebox. It’s been 15 years since we entered into a partnership with Samaritan’s Purse and the word of God has been shared with literally millions of children and their families through this ministry.
Our collection efforts have been great throughout the year and for that I am grateful. Collection week this year is Nov. 14th through Nov. 18th and with your help we can make this year one of the best we’ve ever had. I will be reaching out asking for volunteers to staff our collection center that week. So don’t wait until I come for you – ask how you can help.
For the month of October we will be collecting small toys that will fit inside a shoebox – a small ball, a doll, a jump rope, small cars and trucks are just a few examples.
And last but certainly not least please keep this program in your prayers as the word of God is continually spread throughout the world one shoebox at a time.
