Post on 29-Aug-2019
Dear friend, For the past 25 years, we have been collecting shoeboxes filled with gifts and delivering them to children in need around the world. Each box is an opportunity for a boy or girl to experience the love of God in a tangible way and hear the Gospel.
In Malawi, a 12-year-old girl named Angella squealed when she opened her gift. Inside her shoebox, she found school supplies which her parents couldn’t afford to buy her. But her favourite part was the Gospel booklet that came along with the gift. It encouraged her to go to church where she soon became a believer. Through Angella’s witness, all 10 of her family members have accepted Christ as their Saviour.
Many boys and girls who receive shoebox gifts also enrol in our follow-up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey, where they learn to follow Christ and share Him with others. It all starts with a simple gift. Will you prayerfully consider joining us in this exciting ministry?
