Shoe boxes, shoe boxes and shoe boxes — were all over the Loudoun Campus. What fun it was to gather 72 boxes, go through their contents and get them ready for Operation Christmas Child. Last Wednesday, November 18th there were five of us gathered together in the preschool area with our Christmas music blaring preparing these wonderful gifts for precious children whose parents are not able to afford their daily necessities. Little Jacob Regan was so enthralled with the process as his parents, Chris and Lara, explained to him who all these boxes filled with goodies were for. Jill Atchinson came to the rescue as she realized how overwhelmed we were with the generosity of our Loudoun Campus. Harry Bias patiently waited to make the 30-mile drive to the OCC dropoff church – and though we were late, God had prepared adults and children at the church to help us carry all the boxes in. What a blessing! Please continue to pray for the children who will receive the gift boxes along with the gospel message. Praise God for what He’s doing around the world through Samaritan’s Purse.
