What are the most important things to add to your shoeboxes?
Kristi Graham recommends several items after experiencing a recent distribution. She recommends backpacks, water bottles, and soccer balls.
Franklin Graham recommends a personal note and prayer.
Yves Dushime (see below for more information on his testimony) recommends school supplies, a personal note and also soccer balls.
We're trying to include all of those items in our shoeboxes this year!
Why are we making EXTRA Love Letters to be used as fillers at the processing centers? We were inspired by Yves Dushime who praises God for the Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift he received when he was 11 years old living in Togo. It was the first gift he ever received, and God used it to help turn his heart from hatred to love. The note in his shoebox changed the course of his life!
Watch Yves Dushime's story: From Hatred to Love on blessingsinashoebox.com. It's the first video on the page of videos. His podcast with Kristi Graham is even more enthralling. I hope you'll check them out!
Go to wwww.blessingsinashoebox.com to sign up for our Love Letters Fillers Opportunity, if you haven't done so already. We hope to send many extra Love Notes/Fillers to go in shoeboxes that do not have a personal letter/note already in them. This is so more children will get an opportunity to feel God's love in a very personal way! Read more details about this project on our web site. Then pledge the amount of letters you will hand write!
