Operation Christmas Child

OCC delivers gifts to boys and girls who might not otherwise receive any gifts, but most importantly, the shoe boxes “deliver Jesus”.
Friendship Circle Sunday School class will shop for anyone who needs someone to shop for them.
Proposed important dates to mark on your calendar
- Craft days to make items for the shoeboxes – Two Saturdays, September 13 & 27
- Packing party – Saturday, November 1
If you choose not to purchase items, you can help with the $7.00 per box shipping fee.
I’m already getting good reports from church members and Sunday School classes.
Merry, merry Christmas!

Bro. Jonathan and Ashley Statham have accepted the call of FBC, K to serve as worship leaders. They will be moving here soon. The Nielsen family will be at FBC, K for two more Sundays.

Update on Porgy Scarle

Thanks for all the prayers and please keep them coming. Dr. Said he has a fractured vertebra and some healing rib fractures we didn’t know about. We see internist on Monday for treatment plan and hopefully to see what’s causing the osteoporosis to be so bad. He is tired from the 2 days to Baton Rouge so he has had a good bit of pain today but usually hurts just when he stands or tries to walk. Thanks agin for the calls and especially the prayers.

Operation Christmas Child

“A shoebox fanatic, I was sorting through shoebox stuff, and was thinking…’God, is this really worth all the work I go through packing all these shoeboxes?’ Tired and somewhat frustrated, I decided to take a break and check my email. The first email I opened was from Clip With Purpose, one of the groups I subscribe to that notifies us of good sales for shoebox items. I scrolled down to the article about youth delivering shoeboxes in Guyana, and was totally amazed and excited to see a little girl, Sabrina, holding a picture of our family! She had received one of the shoeboxes we had packed! God orchestrated this (me seeing this picture exactly when I was discouraged and needed to) to answer my questions. How awesome is that?! And how amazing is our loving God!” – Patricia M.
“Kiangara is one of the most remote villages in Madagascar. Poverty and darkness shapes our every day. OCC brings light to our life. We are amazed to see kind people taking care of our children, talking to us about God and his salvation, and then giving our children such beautiful gifts. Such an event never happened to us before. God does not forget us.” – Mother of Shoebox Recipient
A teacher at an elementary school in Latvia said there was a girl who really wanted to have someone that she could exchange letters with. Before they distributed shoebox gifts in their school, the little girl prayed to have a pen pal. When she opened her gift, there was a letter from a girl about her age. With tears in her eyes, she excitedly told her teacher that God had answered her prayers.
“My name is Juliette and I am in the 5th grade in Burkina Faso. Thank you very much for the beautiful items I received in my gift. I got so many things in my box; I was able to give some to my small sister! Thank you Jesus for the love that you’ve shown me!”
