Operation Christmas Child - Shoebox Party


Librarian friend Debbie Frank (turquoise shirt) hosted her annual Operation Christmas Child shoebox packing party November 14 at her central Florida home. After a light potluck lunch, we wrapped card board shoeboxes or put stickers on plastic shoebox. Next we packed boxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, hard candy, jewelry, etc. to be delivered to children in desperate situations around the world.

This year I was guest missionary sharing an opportunity to partner in ministry. I shared the story of my first trip to Côte d'Ivoire and return missions plans via PowerPoint and Q&A to a receptive audience. Thanks Deb for this opportunity and for your gracious hospitality.
