Christmas in September?

Ever packed up an Operation Christmas child box? Many people have, but few have been able to see the results. Our church building is relatively empty. There's just a djembe, some wooden benches, and a podium to fill the space. Add some concrete walls and a dirt floor, and it's not much to look at. So, it was easy to notice a Samaritans Purse box in the corner of the church this Sunday. It was a box left from last Christmas. However, I didn't know that there were still six gift boxes to be distributed. My brothers and sisters had saved them for nine months.

Now, it was time to open them and distribute. But how do you give a gift meant for six children to thirty or more?


All in all, it was an awesome experience, and I'm so glad to have been a part.
