Samaritians Purse distributes around 8 million shoe boxes each year. I can't even get my mind around that number 8,000,000 children from over 100 countries around the globe will receive Christmas boxes. For most, it will be the only Christmas present they receive and for many it will be the first time they hear of a God who created them and who loves them. For two decades Samaritians Purse has provided opportunities for folks to share the message of the true meaning of Christmas with others through Operation Christmas Child.
Tonight Steve and I had our second annual OCC Party. We combined it with friends who wanted to have a soup party/recipe exchange and it worked out perfectly! I don't know how many people were here...a few I met for the first time! I think there were 10 or 12 families who each brought 12 items and together we assembled a dozen shoe boxes. 
The Lord has blessed us with so many friends in the 10 short months we have lived here. This is a photo of our kids with a few of their friends who are eager to put their gifts in the boxes.
