CHRISTMAS IN JULY
DONATIONS ARE NEEDED

On July 9, students from our Student Ministry will be sharing the gospel across the globe - one shoebox at a time! Each box will be filled with love, prayers, and gifts, then sent to kids in closed countries where there is no gospel presence.

Our Goal? 1,000 Shoeboxes

That's 1,000 kids - and their families - who will get to hear the good news of Jesus Christ!

In order to fill 1,000 shoeboxes, we'll need your help. Please prayerfully select items from our Amazon Wish List and begin praying for the children who will receive these gifts and the Good News!

You can also shop for other items such as:

• Balls (i.e., soccer ball with pump)
• Plush animals, Matchbox cars, monster trucks, and transportation toy vehicles
• Dolls (with no removable clothing)
• Jump ropes, Slinky, Etch-a-sketch, marbles, small Lego sets, or other fun games
• Plastic animals such as dinosaurs, farm, sea, or safari themed
• Fidget toys and bouncy balls
• Musical toys such as harmonica, whistle, kazoo, noisemakers, etc.
• Costume jewelry, sunglasses, small purse, hat, hair bows/clips, or tiara
• Bead kits, or other new craft kits
• School Supplies: pencils, sharpeners, pens, notebook, crayons, colorful pens, chalk, erasers, pencil pouch, calculator, drawstring bag, or shoebox-sized backpack.
• Necessity/hygiene Items: washcloths, toothbrushes, underwear, t-shirts (non-branded), socks, shoes/sandals, comb, brush, water bottles. No soap, liquids, or toothpaste.
