Every year, we put together 2 boxes of toys and necessities for Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love. Since 1993, more than 61 million shoe boxes have been packed, shipped, and delivered across the globe. People of all ages can be involved in this simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ.

National Collection Week is November 16-23; to learn more, click here.

Phil’s mom, after battling cancer for over six years, went home to be with the Lord on September 25.  We are going to miss her so much, but we are glad that she is now pain free and completely healed.  She was a ggreat example to me of a wonderful wife and mother.  She truly became a second mom to me the day I married Phil.  This was a video that we created to honor her at her memorial service.
