At last Fridays Junior School Assembly we launched a great service initiative.
We have partnered with Operation Christmas Child (OCC), which is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. Last year they sent 11 million boxes to poverty-stricken children, sharing the Love of Christ while providing them with a shoebox Christmas gift. Since 1993, more than 147 million boys and girls in over 150 nations have experienced God’s unconditional love. Each shoebox is a gift of love that tells a child they are not forgotten.
OCC is one of many great organisations that, not only give to the needy, but also share the good news about Jesus Christ to each child who receives at box.
As a family you can join in to teach your child about children of other cultures, write a card and incude a photo of your family, set a shoebox goal of how many you want to contribute to, go shopping as a family to pick out gifts and pray as a family for the children who will receive your shoeboxes.
We will be collecting these boxes until the 2nd week of next term.
What an exciting way that we can all serve together.
