The 2021 shoebox season is officially complete. The Baltimore Processing Center has been packed up and looks as though OCC was never even there. But the shoeboxes that passed through there and through the Charlotte PC, as well as six other PCs around the country, are being delivered to boys and girls around the world. Because of your efforts this year, children will hear about the God Who created them. They will hear of the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ and they will experience what unconditional love feels like.
There are studies that advocate for rest and is supported by the Bible—even Jesus rested. We take time to rest in the knowledge that you made a difference. Give yourself time to think of the one—that one child who will receive a shoebox gift that you had a hand in delivering. Maybe your passion for Operation Christmas Child inspired someone else to pack one more box. God used you to help deliver His message of love to so many children. We in Adams County shared in sending 8,459 Gospel Opportunities because of your efforts.
You are appreciated and loved. Rest in the Greatest Gift of all, Jesus Christ. I look forward to serving with you in 2022!
