Linda Hollinshead, collection coordinator for Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child at their church in Chandler, AZ, shares about how needy children around the world, receiving a shoe box at Christmas time, get to know Jesus. “We’ve heard from many who have gotten boxes… their pictures are up in our room at church.” Linda shares, “It isn’t like we just send this vessel with the gospel message and wonder if anything ever happened. We have so many children accept Jesus through that gospel message.” Linda also tells the story of one of the 14 empty nester volunteers who this year helped make 670 dresses for girls, ages 6-9, “It’s just amazing how much joy it has brought her.”
