This evening we are volunteering at the Operation Christmas Child Warehouse in Irvine, helping to process shoe-boxes that will be shipped overseas and distributed to kids from all parts of the world. This is such an amazing ministry, and one that has made a huge impact on countless young lives. We have just a tiny part in this huge project, but we are thrilled to be able to help with this year after year.
We never cease to be amazed at the amount of shoe boxes we see every time we enter the warehouse.

get this project done |
We went through our training session as always, and then waited to be assigned to our stations.

Usually we work together or at least in close proximity, but this year we were needed in lots of different areas of the warehouse . . .

Somehow I missed getting a group shot this year. I don't know what happened, and promise to do better next time!

Thank you Franklin Graham and all your staff for this amazing, wonderful, and life-changing mission, and for letting us be a small part of it. See you next year.
