3,019 shoeboxes have been sent from Lcc to kids around the world!

We pray that God will soften the hearts of the 3,019 children who have received our shoebox gifts over the past few years and that their hearts will be open to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as they hear the “Good News” that God has provided the way for them to be freed from the penalty of sin. We pray that families and entire communities will be transformed as God’s love is shared through our simple shoebox gifts. Is there anything more important than sharing the hope of Christ?
