I received the following email from Samaritan's Purse about the Operation Christmas Child project in the Birmingham area.
"31,314 shoe box gifts were collected this past year in your area alone. That’s 31,314 opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus with Children around the world! Your group was a big part of the 31,314 gospel opportunities that were collected and contributed to 5.1 million shoeboxes collected in the United States. You may also be encouraged to know that through the gifts collected in all 13 OCC sending countries, a total of more than 8.1 million hurting children will receive a gift, have the opportunity to hear the Gospel, and connect with a local church for on-going follow up and discipleship."
I hope this will inspire everyone to participate next year! I would be thrilled to see 100% participation!

Wow! That is awesome! I got a magazine in the mail from Samaritan's Purse with lots of pictures of children getting their boxes. It has been a great visual for D & LA to see & understand what we are dong.
