Thank you to those from our congregation who donated boxes and items for us to donate at the warehouse.  After training, we sorted boxes by age, collected donations that were given with boxes, and inspected boxes before they were shipped.  It was so good to know that needy children around the world would be getting millions of boxes this year!  We stood next to a girl in an inspection line who was born in Russia.  She lived in an orphanage there where she received an Operation Christmas Child box at the age of 4.  She was so hungry she ate the chapstick!  But she can still remember everything inside that box because it meant so much to her.  She even said the boxes prevented teenagers from committing suicide because they felt like someone cared about them.  Finally, she was adopted into the U.S. where she now helps with OCC at age 17.  God works in amazing ways!
