It’s All About Jesus!

As some of you may know, I’m currently working for Samaritan’s Purse as a Seasonal Human Resources Recruiter for their annual Operation Christmas Child project.

Monday, November 16, marks the start of National Collection Week for Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child!

Thousands upon thousands of shoebox gifts will be gathered together in preparation for their journey to children all around the world.

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Friend, will you join me in praying for each shoebox and every person involved in this great journey?

  • Pray God’s blessing over each shoebox packer delivering their gifts.
  • Pray for joy for every volunteer giving their time to collect shoeboxes.
  • Pray for safe travel and smooth customs as shoeboxes are shipped to children around the world.
  • Pray for the local churches handing out gifts that they would be strengthened and build positive relationships in their communities.
  • Pray for every child who opens a shoebox that they would know they are deeply loved by Jesus.

but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Until my next post…

Be salty, stay lit.
