Dropping Off Operation Christmas Child Boxes | Sending Love Around the World

📦 This is it - drop-off day! After shopping, sewing, and packing 30 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, I'm releasing them on their journey around the world today. Watch as I load the boxes, drive to the collection center, and experience the faith it takes to send love to children I'll never meet. This is the finale of my OCC series, and it's all about trusting God with what we release and being part of something bigger than ourselves.

THE HEART OF THIS EPISODE:
This isn't just about dropping off boxes. It's about the faith required to release something you've invested in—your time, your money, your prayers—and to trust that God will use it for His purposes.
I'll never know which child gets which box. I'll never see their faces or hear their stories. But that's what faith looks like—casting our bread upon the waters and trusting God with the results.
Since 1993, over 232 million children have received Operation Christmas Child boxes and heard the Gospel. My 30 boxes? They're drops in the ocean. But when millions of us participate, suddenly we're part of a tidal wave of Gospel ministry reaching the nations.
