Remember that your shoebox gift will be an expression of God's love for a needy child and each box brings the Gospel to that child, too. Many of these precious children have never received a gift before! Pray over your items and include a note of encouragement and/or a photo of your family. These items mean so much to these children! Empty shoeboxes will be available in your campus’s lobby beginning Nov 3. The last day to bring your shoebox back to church is Sun, Nov 24.
Did you know you can build a shoebox online? Not only is it a convenient way to participate in this ministry, but when you build a shoebox online the $10 shipping drops to $0! It's fast and easy, too! (And yes, you can still add a message and a photo if you’d like.) There is also the option to add a $6 donation to send a child The Greatest Journey, a 12-week discipleship program taught to the children by a local teacher. The children receive a certificate and a New Testament upon completing the program. What a treasure for years to come!
