🌿We just started, best feeling ever!! We are working on 25 boxes this year!! 🍄🥰Shoebox gifts are all about taking the Good News of Jesus to the ends of the earth! 🌍 A simple gift opens the door, Gospel changes hearts, and follow-up discipleship results in evangelism and the multiplication of believers!
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," - Matthew 28:19

I know times are difficult, sometimes we don't see the end of the road. I want to encourage you to "Be still in the LORD", HE know better the why's of things.💕
Psalm 18:28 "You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."
Nothing feels quite as dark as a time of grief and sorrow. During this time, we don't have much strength to keep our lamps burning, keep our energies up. We have to force ourselves to go through the motions.
This verse can offer comfort for the believer who feels as though they have to force themselves to get out of bed. God transforms our darkness into light. Never look back,
Psalm 18:2 "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Amen!🌿
