- A lady came by the OCC kiosk at church and asked how she could help. I explained the needs and she wrote a check. She then reiterated her desire to help with anything - she had time because she had recently been laid off and was now pouring her energy on various ministries. When I looked at the check later, I saw that she made a very generous donation.
- Three ladies who had just run the Race for the Cure came straight to church to drop off their packed shoeboxes.
- The elementary school at our church chose Operation Christmas Child as one of their service projects.
- The entire 6th grader Sunday School class packed a bunch of boxes.
- A lady told her family, neighbors, co-workers and friends about OCC, and she brought to church 29 packed shoeboxes!
- Our Girls in Action packed shoeboxes. The leaders' goal was 8 boxes. The girls packed 15 in about 30 minutes!
- The Acteens packed over 30 boxes. They wanted to do it after hearing a former shoebox recipient from Russia speak over the summer and being deeply touched by her testimony.
- A lady packed her boxes and also dropped off a big bag of stuffed animals for other boxes!
- Remember the 36 empty boxes I gave our middle school teacher? She and her students packed over 170 boxes! And two of the girls raised funds to pack - coincidentally - 36 of them just by themselves!
I was - and still am - utterly amazed!
