“D-Day” – http://odb.org/?tz=-07

Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . .

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

~Joshua 24:15~

Serve the Lord with gladness:

come before his presence with singing.

~Psalm 100:2~

“Serve the Lord with Gladness”

Serve the Lord with gladness in our works and ways.

Come before His presence with our songs of praise.
Unto Him our Maker, we would pledge anew
Life’s supreme devotion to service true.

Serve the Lord with gladness, thankful all the while
For His tender mercies, for His loving smile.
Blessed truth enduring, always just the same.
We will serve with gladness and praise His name.

Serve the Lord with gladness, this shall be our theme.
As we walk together, in His love supreme.
Listening, ever listening for the still small voice.
His sweet Will so precious, will be our choice.

Serve Him with gladness, Enter His courts with song.
To our Creator, true praises belong.
Great is His mercy, wonderful is His name.
We gladly serve Him, His great love proclaim.

(Words/Music by B.B. McKinney)

A little boy in Mateo School in the Dominican Republic told us how much he had been praying to the Lord to give his mom enough money to buy him some sandals. The ones he had were old and broken and they could not afford another pair. When he opened his shoebox gift, he found a pair of sandals his size. He was so happy as he walked around to show everyone his new shoes. It was extraordinary!

Operation Christmas Child (You can follow them on Facebook.)

“I recently received a thank you letter from a child in Guyana who had received one of my shoeboxes. She told me she had three brothers, but that now I am her sister. It was a precious letter and I was happy to learn about one of the children receiving my shoeboxes. She said she prays every day and has accepted Jesus as her Savior.” – Dawna P.
Children who recently graduated from OCC’s discipleship program, The Greatest Journey, returned the love they were shown by handing out shoebox gifts to other children who had not yet learned about the love of Jesus. Watch below to see the impact that your shoebox gift can make, and then click here to learn how you can disciple a child, like one of these:http://bit.ly/TheGreatestJourney5-28
A young girl, enrolled in The Greatest Journey, began praying for the restoration of her parent’s marriage as they were separated with a pending divorce. During one lesson the teacher had the children write down some of their concerns on stones to throw away as they committed to giving each concern to God. The little girl began to cry after she threw away her stones and shared her concerns with the teacher. The teacher prayed with the little girl. Following this incident her parents came back together and decided to not get a divorce.
