Packing Shoeboxes
// Tim DeTellis
Each shoebox gift matters—because each child matters to God. We can’t do this without you!
As I stood in front of our pastors who gathered at our New Missions church in Signeau, Haiti, I shared how the shoebox gifts we deliver represent God’s love sent from the hearts and homes of people across the United States and Canada. I asked, “How big is God’s love for us?” I responded: “God’s love is so big. We receive so much that we must share it with others!”
When it comes to our shoebox drive, you can pack gifts for our students, nurses, pastors, teachers…but this year we are introducing infant shoeboxes for newborns through the age of two. For packing ideas visit ShoeboxDrive.com. You can host packing parties and invite your friends, co-workers, and church family to join in all the fun.
God’s love for you and me does not stop with us. Our lives are not intended to be a reservoir but a river. Thank you for being a special part of our annual shoebox drive. Together, let’s make history this year and reach more children and families as we share God’s love. “We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 ~Tim DeTellis
