Please continue praying in the weeks ahead for the child that will be receiving your shoebox.

Thank you to each and every one of you that helped packed boxes, donated monetarily, baked cookies, set up and tore down the packing party, set up and tore down the collection week site, loaded and delivered the crates, sat at the collection site during the week, found extra crates in moments of panic, and supported this ministry from day one! Your lives have truly touched others once again! Thank you.
