In the days ahead, we ask that you would continue to pray for each child that will be receiving these love-filled gifts, that they would feel God’s love, and most importantly that each child would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
God bless all of you in our North Dallas area that packed a shoebox gift and all the volunteers that made collection week happen. You were each invaluable in collecting the 7, 342 shoebox gifts we received locally. Thank you to our home church, Trinity Bible Church of Richardson, Pastor Jeff Miller and the entire staff and leadership of TBC. Your unbelievable, unwavering support has and is tremendous.
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
Eternally Grateful,
In Christ,
