Let's pack more shoeboxes, so more children can hear the Gospel! Check out Blessingsinashoebox.com and the Blessings In A Shoebox Facebook group for lots of helpful ideas and inspiration!
Join our Blessings In A Shoebox Facebook group for links to deals and inspiration for your shoebox packing!
God provides His children with really great gifts--through friends, family, and unexpected places-- so we can fill shoeboxes for the children (even as prices keep going up on so many other things)!
I hope your passion for spreading the Gospel compels you to get involved now with Operation Christmas Child. We love to send shoeboxes to children all over the world! Operation Christmas Child & Samaritan’s Purse desires to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We are creating beautiful full Shoebox gifts to help make that happen. Please join us in this special mission!
*Our goal is to send quality special items (with soft textures/colors/sounds) in every shoebox, so the children will feel God's love and desire a relationship with him when the Gospel message is presented at the OCC event! We are praying this will be the case for each and every child and beyond (family, friends, villagers, leaders, etc.)!
Let's keep moving forward! Run the race to win! Let's live out Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Amen.

And check out: Blessings in a Shoebox Facebook Group for many links to deals on school supplies, plush, toys, socks, and more!
***It's fun to imagine the joy these shoebox gifts will bring to the children, but even better is the eternal impact I hope they have. My prayer is that God will be preparing the hearts of this little girl and her family, so that when she receives her shoebox she will believe the Gospel message and receive Jesus as Lord of her life. And, God willing, her family will follow suit!
Keep packing shoeboxes to glorify God and share the Gospel. And keep looking up--the Lord is coming soon. Let's be found about our Father's business when Jesus calls us to meet Him in the air!
* Franklin Graham says PRAYER and Personal Notes are the most important thing and he wants us to send MORE TOYS in our shoeboxes and to the processing center as fillers! And that's our aim! We want children to experience delight when opening their shoebox gifts. And may that delight cause them to feel a deep desire to know more about this Jesus who loves them. And may they receive Jesus as Lord and Savior!
Want to know more about OCC and packing great shoeboxes? Watch Yves Dushime's story: From Hatred to Love on blessingsinashoebox.com. It's the first video on the page of videos at www.blessingsinashoebox.com. 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 Him and receive him as your Savior and Lord. 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!

Sorry to hear about your loss Christy. Losing a parent is very difficult. Both of my parents passed on to heaven this summer. They died less than a day apart. I packed an OCC memory box for each one. That gives me a lot of joy to turn my sadness into a blessing for someone in need. I packed oversized memory boxes and still didn't send everything I wanted but I believe God will bless them just as they are. Whoever works in the processing center will have fun fitting them in the shipping container and that thought brings me laughter! May God give you peace and comfort in your time of loss. I love all the homemade items you send. You make great boxes and inspire me to pack great boxes too. God bless you!

Thank you Linda ❤ I’m so sorry to hear about your parents, but blessed to see you turning your sadness to joy with the memory boxes you packed. I love the idea! Thank you for your encouragement!

Thank you for your videos. I have packed 5 this year. I have a room full of fabric and I've been making sun dresses for girls. Some of my dresses went to the Baptist children's home here in Oklahoma. I made more dresses and I prayed that God would show me what to do with them. Then a lady at my church said let's put them in shoe boxes! So I have packed 3 boxes and included a dress in each one. The rest of my dresses are at my church for others to use. I liked seeing some of the other things that can be homemade. Thank you.

I packed my first box this year and although I did my best I know I have a lot to learn. I found your channel and have been inspired. I bought a bunch of glitter girls dolls on black Friday this year for around $10-13 a doll. Bought a bunch for next year along with my mom. I'm not on any social media sites other than RU-vid so I've been trying to learn more and stumbled on yours thanks for such informative content.

@christym.814 7 месяцев назад

Awesome! I’m thrilled you got the Glitter Girl dolls! Thank you for packing shoeboxes and for checking out my channel!

I always enjoy seeing what Michelle sends! Love the bead kits & tote bags. I'm in eastern NC. I pack for 2-4 boys/girls and 10-14 boys/girls. I'm project leader for a small church. Six of us meet to sew dresses & shorts for our boxes. I've been blessed with many donations so I'm also packing boxes at home. My condolences as you grieve the loss of your father. What a comfort that he was a believer. I lost my mother not long ago & know losing parents isn't easy. May the Lord bless you & Michelle in your OCC efforts. ❤

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you were able to be with your father before his death. It's truely a blessing to be able to share that time with a dying loved one. I'll keep him, you and your family in my prayers.

@christym.814 10 месяцев назад

I really appreciate your prayers. Thank you so very much.

@jwright5886 10 месяцев назад

We are so sorry Christy. So thankful to see in your comment below that your Dad was a believer and is now with the Lord! May God continue to give you much comfort and peace.❤

@christym.814 9 месяцев назад

Yes, thank you, @jwright5886 He will be greatly missed. But I am comforted to know we will see each other again.

I am working on my very first ever shoe box for a similar ministry to Operation Christmas Child called Cross Catholic Outreach

@CindyFranks 10 месяцев назад

So sorry that your dad passed away, but it's wonderful to know that he's in heaven. I am looking forward to seeing your 10-12 girl boxes. I've been working on my older girl boxes and I'm struggling to fit everything in. I have watched many of your videos and you seem to effortlessly pack the menstrual pads, water bottles, sewing kits and clothing. I can only hope to one day pack the box on the first try! You and your family are in my prayers. God bless you and the work you are doing to further the kingdom of God ❤

This year I’m packing for 2 young girl. And a family box. We are not to pack anything sharp, so things like pencil sharpeners.. or needles.. is a challenge.
