Operation Christmas Child

Dear Friends and Family,

It is that time of year again....time to help those less fortunate. Please join me this year in participating in Operation Christmas Child. This program really does make a difference in the lives of many.

I have attached a link to a short video clip of a young girl who now helps out with the program. She was abused and abandoned by her parents in Russia when she was a child. She lived in an orphanage in Russia where she felt no love nor hope. One year, when she was 9 years old, Operation Christmas Child came to the orphanage and gave her the first gift she had ever received in her life. It gave her hope. She was later adopted by a family in the United States and she is now helping spread the word about this program.

I have participated in Operation Christmas Child every year for over nine years now and can assure you that it does have an impact on the lives of many. It takes very little money but makes a huge difference.

Here is the link if you would like to watch the video. Video: Passing On The Blessing

Please visit their website and help out in any way you can.

Thank you.



Update: November 20th
We are overjoyed that we were able to participate in this great event again this year. We chose to do our box for a boy aged 10 - 14 years old. I know that he will be very excited to receive his new football, yo-yo, t-shirt, candy and more. I hope that many of you were able to participate as well. God Bless.

Will be back soon - More to come!

Sorry for the long delay in posts. It has been a busy year and I have been trying to devote some time to working on my professional blog. ...
