Operation Christmas Child shoebox recipient, Justin Thomas, will be sharing his story on Monday with our elementary students.

How do you explain what a gift is to someone who’s never received one? It’s all too common in many parts of the world for parents to only be able to afford basic necessities. It was that way for Justin. He grew up in a loving Christian family in a country hostile to the Gospel, but they struggled to make ends meet. He had never opened a gift until age 13 when he received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox.

Come find out how a gift-filled shoebox helped a child who had never received a gift to grasp that Jesus is God’s Greatest Gift.
