Operation Christmas Child

We're back for the processing center in Charlotte, NC. WOW. It is truly an experience you can not really relate in mere words. To be part of 1000 volunteers daily working to give this Christmas away. It is an experience to rival any other. We collected over 2300 boxes this year. Praise God. I'll post some pictures of from our trip soon. Thank you to those who prayed, supported and stepped in to fill our roles as we served some of God's precious children..
