Ripe for the Harvest

Having just completed a National conference call with Operation Christmas Child staff and volunteers from the USA, Canada and Ecuador...I am in awe of the mighty power of God! It never ceases to amaze me how tremendously more He can accomplish than I can EVER imagine!



This year, there are 11 counties who will be sending the shoe boxes out to children all over the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan , Mongolia, Vietnam, China and Nepal! The goal is to send eight million boxes...Just imagine that!!! 8 million children who have never heard the name of Jesus will be introduced to our Lord and Savior! It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!!!



This year, there are 121 Area Teams in the US; 373 Collection Centers, 1,850 Relay Centers; and more than 117,000 volunteer visits scheduled to assist at the Processing Centers!


Please keep Operation Christmas Child in your prayers. Pray for the staff and volunteers who will be working to receive the boxes in and redistribute them; pray for the logistics of coordinating all of the Relay, Collection, and Processing Centers; pray for favorable review by the media and for certain, pray for the children receiving the boxes and their families that their lives will be blessed and they will truly receive the GREATEST gift of all, Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
