- Let's pack more shoeboxes, so more children can hear the Gospel! Check out Blessingsinashoebox.com for lots of helpful ideas and inspiration!
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!

I love getting 2 or 3 of these as a kid in my country Guyana 🇬🇾... Maybe the only big packed presents ever I received ❤🎉🎉God bless I'm happy kids still get these in 2023
That’s awesome, Devikadookie7679! Do you have a favorite item you can remember getting in your shoeboxes?
Thank you for showing us how to pack an OCC shoebox, which really helped alot!!! It was awesome!!!
Super awesome! I'm suprised you managed to fit so much with such a big doll :)
I pack shoeboxes every year & it is my favorite way to start the Christmas season! You do a wonderful job! 😊 God bless you too! 🙏🏻
Hooray for a full box with quality items that will last and last. I loved everything!!❤
Thank you, Pamela! I’m thrilled to be able to send shoeboxes. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the faces of the children when they open their boxes? Maybe in heaven, there will be instant replay. 😆
Hello.I'm a senior (71).I always thought that toddlers were 2-3 yrs old.I taught junior kindergarten for over 30 yrs.Littles don't need a ruler,pencil case and scissors.They might cut some other kids hair.😍Thank you for a lot of good ideas.🥰🇨🇦🥰
My daughter did that to our little neighbor girl next door. They decided her bangs needed cutting. They were both about 4-5 years old at the time. 😅
I think they do need it because they will grow and go to school and might not get another box so this helps them have school supplies for when that time comes.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I struggle every year trying to fit things into these little boxes!
You did EXCELLENT Christy, proud of you! The little girl will Love you for thinking of her.
Great items in all the colors of the rainbow 🙂 🌈
Great job filling the box to the max! 💕
Thanks for sharing this, I love the idea of packing scissors, my 2 and 4 year old use scissors almost daily, even just cutting grass is fun for them
Hope you are feeling better. Praying that you will have a wonderful packing party! How great to be able to finish 20 boxes in a day! And everyone at the party will be able to learn from your superb packing techniques!!!
Thank you very much, Cindy. I’m definitely on the road to recovery. Praise God! I’m anxious to see how the packing party goes. 😊
I always wondered what would be best to put in the box. Now l know. Thank you 👍
I love the idea of the list and the disclaimer, really helpful ideas. 🙂
Well done. ♥️
Some great ideas, thank you!
Amazing what you have put into one box! Where are most things purchased from?
That was like putting a puzzle together.😀
We always use PLASTIC boxes so the kids have a long term place to keep their things.
The cardboard looks like short term before it becomes - well, like cardboard does!
I wrap the top of the plastic box with Christmas wrap for fun!
@@vintagehomemaker9338 But doent that get removed that when they open the box to check the contents? (If not we may use your idea ourselves) Thank you for the suggestion.
@@frederickwise5238 you would want to wrap the top and the bottom separately so that you can still open the gift -- it is a nice thing, but not needed.
Where do you get the right size and shape plastic boxes?
@@nicolekalicazk5839 For many years Big Lots. Not sure where next since B.L. is going bankrupt/closing in our area. When my wife gets up, I'll ask and give you another msg.
My tip is to roll a tshirt up into the inside of a cup. Worked great for my male 10-14box last year!
Great space saving tip! Thank you ❤️
My church doesn't distinguish boy or girl boxes so your ideas mostly helpful. About how much did it cost you?
I went to website and couldn't find a disclaimer. Could you share where I can find this? You did a fantastic job with your box!!!!!!!
I’m shocked that you are able to pack scissors for the children! I have packed shoe boxes for 16 years, and always thought that was a no-no. Guess I was wrong?
I put scissors in for the school aged children, but not usually for the 2-4 year olds, except if the scissors are very blunt! If there is a colouring book and crayons, they wouldn't need scissors anyway
Blunt scissors are fine for toddlers.
School scissors for younger elementary age are usually BLUNT & past couple yrs I have seen them packaged also w/covers to protect the blades❣️
Thanks for your reply i was wondering. I have scissors for next years with daisys on
Have a good day. From productions
Is there a toddler boy or 12-14 boy box example anywhere? I saw on their website that those are the least they get so I’m trying to pack at least one of each this year.
some suggestions for boys -- tshirts, shorts, baseball cap, winter hat / gloves / scarves, socks , sneakers, flip flops , sandals, toys - balls -- matchbox cars, puzzles, games, marbles (consider 2 sets so they can play with a friend) hair comb , soap , washcloth , pens, pencils, writing paper, crayons, markers, coloring book. these are some suggestions.
We got a tip years ago from someone who went to the packing center. For older boys, hand tools are helpful (older girls cooking & sewing items). We always pack & pray for our Shoebox Boy.🙏 This year hammer & nails, measuring tape, carpenter pencil, combo screwdriver, graph paper, notebooks, pencils & case, crayons, lego kit, harmonica, soft baseball, hat & soap washcloth, comb, toothbrush. Lil stuffed animal if will fit!❤🙏
@@homegirl2000- That is really helpful! Thank you!
Be careful no marbles a choking item.
@@darrellmortensen9805 marbles are okay ... they are not on the do not pack list
The child might also use the bandana as a placemat.
Hey are makeup/cosmetics products like lip balm/ lip gloss safe to pack? Wanted to know because I’m making boxes for 10-14 y/o girls
Yes for lip balm. No for makeup.
There are many poor children in our India, can you send us this gift box
Hi, I have a question can I just use a regular shoebox?
In Australia, it's suggested we can use a regular shoebox, with the lid no larger than an A4 page
Decorate the shoeboxes with pictures such as old Christmas and birthday cards, or cover with Christmas wrapping paper
@@margaretboehm4485 thank uuu
What do think about beach balls ?
Beach balls aren’t my favorite thing to include because they don’t last long. Id rather send a more sturdy ball.
I put a tennis ball in, they would last the longest, especially for boys
Sexist? Girls play rough as well with tennis balls
How can I be involved?
You're giving pencils and scissors to toddlers?
I thought the same thing! Do 2-4 year olds need scissors and pencils in a pencil case?? There is a colouring book and crayons, which would be adequate?! I would keep the school supplies, including the ruler, for school aged kids!! I found these items a bit confusing
yes! children of that age use them and then they have them for when they get older.
@@margaretboehm4485 I always assume siblings might get nothing and it hurts no one to include something which takes up such a small amount of space.
@@JoyPeace-ej2uv in Australia we are allowed to send shoeboxes that are no larger than an A4 page, or the pre printed ones which are smaller. So we don't have much space compared to what you in the US can pack. I've noticed your boxes are huge!! I'm just commenting on what we do here, with the limited space.
