20 years of Operation Christmas Child
I have loved the Operation Christmas Child program since I learned about it over 10 years ago. I love watching my children pick out toys and purchasing items for kids their age that they don't even know. I love knowing that my kids are serving people in need and that they are excited about it. I love praying with my kids for the little boys and girl that are going to recieve this shoebox. I love what God has done through this amazing project.
This year I introduced this program to the teachers at my school and we decided to make it our 7th graders' service project. It's been amazing to see the kids excited to help other kids around the world and to talk about our global community. Our students have 2 weeks to bring in items for OCC and then a few "chosen" students will have the opportunity to fill these shoeboxes. Thank you God for this amazing opportunity!
