Anderson Arizona Adventures: Sharing God's Love One Shoe Box at a Time

This year, the most precious Christmas gifts were for six little children in need of hope. Operation Christmas Child provides millions of shoe boxes, packed with toys and toiletries, to children in need all over the world. Children also receive a booklet, in their language, telling them about the greatest gift of all, Jesus! We chose to pack six shoe boxes for children ages 2-4, three girls and three boys. Caleb helped with every step of the process. He even gave up three of his dinosaurs, one for each of the little boys. When we were done shopping, Caleb continued to see things that he wanted the little boys and girls to have. He grew quite fond of the teddy bears, but with tears in his eyes, he was able to give every last one away. Our shoe boxes were tagged with bar codes so they could be tracked to their final destinations. Yesterday, we learned our boxes made it all the way to Mongolia! I pray their lives will be forever changed, not by the items in the boxes, but through Jesus!
