In Mongolia...
Shoe box gifts were delivered to the children of prison inmates in March. These expressions of love touched the hearts of more than just the children and the prisoners. Some of the guards asked if boxes could be given to their children, too. The Operation Christmas Child staff returned later to distribute boxes to the sons and daughters of the prison guards. They told the children about God's greatest gift, Jesus Christ, and taught them worship songs.
Hearing the gospel convicted the guards of their own need for a Savior. "At first we thought this was good for the prisoners. They have done wrong. We didn't think we needed to hear the message," said one guard. "Now we want to know more about Jesus. We realize that we are sinners, too."
This is but one account of the amazing work God is doing through a simple gift-filled shoebox! Check back again for more.
