Christmas in July Mission Project

Have you noticed the stores? Yep. It is only July, but the displays are full of two things: back-to-school supplies and Christmas. Isn't that wonderful? Seriously. I mean it.Back-to-school time is perfect for packing those boxes for Operation Christmas Child.




The school supply sales have great prices. It is easy to stock up on everything a child needs for school. . . wherever he or she lives:

  • crayons
  • pencils
  • colored pencils
  • erasers
  • markers
  • rulers
  • scissors
  • glue
  • paper
  • notebooks
 
You don't have to fill the box only with school supplies, but you can add the fun things, toiletries, and clothing items later.

Earlier I blogged about a backpack mission project. Are these things in the Bible? I think so. . .

. . . the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’   Acts 20:35b   (NIV)
