“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJV

 Domestic - Operation Christmas Child

 International - Operation Christmas Child

• Pray for the hundreds of international volunteers who receive and distribute the shoe box gifts.
