Shoe boxes galore

Postby paul » November 2nd, 2008, 3:09 pm

Today was a blessed day. The youth of our church had taken on a special project to put together shoe boxes for children in the orphanages we sponsor. Today they turned in 200 shoe boxes. these boxes are filled with small toys, slippers, tooth brush, combs/brushes. tee shirts, cany, soap.. amazing what can get into a small box.
The youth groups from a church in Florida are sending 100 boxes and another 50 from Texas. So about 350. Also they have handed out plastic cups with the photos of the orphans on them Change to change a life. In the past month they have collected almost $1,500 in change. This will be used to put together additional boxes. This will ensure that all 700+ orphans we sponsor will get a wonderful gift box for christmas.

I realize that our youth are struggeling with a relentless world and its enticements. But God is calling out a new generation who are committed to the gospel. We can't give up on them, they are an awsome generation waiting to be used by God.

Paul, we have already done about 100. They were going to the Franklin Graham thing,. but if you will give me the instructions, I would much rather give them to your orphanages......
