With less than four weeks notice, HBF rallied to answer the call to fill nearly 100 shoe boxes with gifts for children all over the planet. Randy and Julie Foster took the initiative to encourage the entire congregation to participate in Operation Christmas Child.
The excitement and zeal of the body of Christ in this effort is only matched by our prayer that God use these small gestures of love to open the hearts of children and families across the globe to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. In addition to giving gifts, the most important gift packed into the boxes are gospel tracts, John and Romans and bibles.
It is exciting to see families come together around an initiative like this to get the gospel where it needs to go on time! Now we can all pray that the tracts, bibles, notes contained in these gift boxes will be used of the Lord to communicate the love of Christ this Christmas Season.
