- Let's pack more shoeboxes, so more children hear the Gospel! Check out: Blessingsinashoebox.com and the Blessings In A Shoebox Facebook group for lots of helpful ideas and inspiration!
Join our Blessings In A Shoebox Facebook group for links to deals and inspiration for your shoebox packing!
God provides His children with really great gifts--through friends, family, and unexpected places-- so we can fill shoeboxes for the children (even as prices keep going up on so many other things)!
I hope your passion for spreading the Gospel compels you to get involved now with Operation Christmas Child. We love to send shoeboxes to children all over the world! Operation Christmas Child & Samaritan’s Purse desires to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We are creating beautiful full Shoebox gifts to help make that happen. Please join us in this special mission!
*Our goal is to send quality special items (with soft textures/colors/sounds) in every shoebox, so the children will feel God's love and desire a relationship with him when the Gospel message is presented at the OCC event! We are praying this will be the case for each and every child and beyond (family, friends, villagers, leaders, etc.)!
Let's keep moving forward! Run the race to win! Let's live out Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Amen.

***It's fun to imagine the joy these shoebox gifts will bring to the children, but even better is the eternal impact I hope they have. My prayer is that God will be preparing the hearts of this little girl and her family, so that when she receives her shoebox she will believe the Gospel message and receive Jesus as Lord of her life. And, God willing, her family will follow suit!
Keep packing shoeboxes to glorify God and share the Gospel. And keep looking up--the Lord is coming soon. Let's be found about our Father's business when Jesus calls us to meet Him in the air!
Franklin Graham says PRAYER and Personal Notes are the most important thing and he wants us to send MORE TOYS in our shoeboxes and to the processing center as fillers! And that's our aim! We want children to experience delight when opening their shoebox gifts. And may that delight cause them to feel a deep desire to know more about this Jesus who loves them. And may they receive Jesus as Lord and Savior!
Want to know more about OCC and packing great shoeboxes? Watch Yves Dushime's story: From Hatred to Love on blessingsinashoebox.com. It's the first video on the page of videos at www.blessingsinashoebox.com. His podcast with Kristi Graham is even more enthralling. His testimony underscores the importance of school supplies in a shoebox!
Are you interested in an eternal relationship with Jesus Christ? Believe in Jesus, admit you have sinned and ask him to forgive your sins. Trust Him and receive him as your Savior and Lord. Read all about God in the Bible, starting in Genesis with creation to understand God and sin and the punishment for sin. Also, read the New Testament to understand what Jesus did, so that we could have forgiveness and redemption from sin. The Bible reveals God's plan for his children and the world. It tells us that Jesus will come soon for his children and we get to live forever with him!
We are blessed to have the Bible so we can know all about him.
I am very glad I can participate with Operation Christmas Child to bring the good news of Jesus and eternal life to the children around the world who have never heard about him. We are making a difference for eternity!

What a fun box! I finished packing shoeboxes in October. I finished packing filler boxes today. Ready to deliver to collection site Tuesday. I think this will be my last yr packing soap.
That is awesome!
Another awesome box! I like to include the wooden magnetic fishing set. It has about 20 fish and pole.
That fishing set sounds like a very fun toy to include! Thank you for sharing Darlene! ❤
Very nice shoebox! This year I packed the Corduroy bears from Kohl's in all of our 2-4 boy shoeboxes. I crocheted matching blankets for them. That was my favorite thing that I packed for the 2-4 boys.
Sounds great!! Very cool gift!
I haven’t thought about a favorite thing to pack. But we try to make sure each box has school supplies and a small stuffed animal or character. Anything else we just consider bonus items to fill boxes. But after watching several different videos on line, I think I’m leaning towards anything musical.
Another great box! I love watching your videos for inspiration. Question I would love to print the coloring books for next year. (Don’t currently have a printer, it’s on my Christmas list). What printer do you use? Thanks again for all your ideas and fun videos!
I use a Canon printer.
Very nice box :) can't go wrong with dinos 🦖🦕
I agree! 🦕🦖
All those little fidget spinner toys look like a lot of fun!
