Operation Christmas Child

Itshoeboxes‘s time for shoebox packing once again.  Maybe you are a veteran packer or this is your first venture into preparing a shoebox for Samaritan’s Purse.  In either case, put some thought into the items you place in your box and remember their is an eager pair of hands waiting on the other end.  Often it is easy to think about what a child in the US might want, not really considering the box may end up in Kenya, Central America, or a remote area of Europe.  The article below is written by a missionary in Senegal with first hand experience handing out shoeboxes.  It contains some helpful insight when packing your box.  Good luck and thanks for participating!
