Box of Love Stories and 3500 more Boxes on Saturday

Over 6500 boxes went out to 60 ministries all over the city. We are beginning to collect the stories of what God has done through them…

The congregation of Ingelisia Biblicia Altisimo in South Central knocked on all the doors within ten minutes walking around their church. They asked people if they could reserve a Box of Love for them and told them when to come to the church and pick them up. An African-American mother was so excited when they knocked on her door, “I really need this food, I’m out of work and don’t have enough for my children,” she exclaimed.

They handed out 100 Boxes to those grateful neighbors. The next church service they has 33 new people attend and 7 decisions for Christ!

This is the last reminder before this Saturday’s Christmas Boxes of Love Packing Party. Come and join us in preparing an additional 3500 boxes to go out to another 35 churches as they use them to share the love and hope of Jesus in their neighborhood.

It’s this Saturday, December 20th from 8 AM till about noon. Come and help spread the true Christmas spirit!
