Sara Kennedy and a strong group of Simpson County folks traveled all the way to Dallas, Texas to assist with the “packing” of shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.
Sara shared her pictures and testimony through Face Book. I contacted Sara and obtained permission to share the information with you.
Quite a testimony…and quite a trip! Thank you, Sara for your dedication to our Lord Jesus.
“We met up with the amazing group of people at Corinth and with a few difficulties on the bus taken care of, we headed west to Dallas. I will always cherish the laughter and giggles along the way. The whole purpose of our trip to Dallas was to participate and serve our Lord at the Operation Christmas Child processing warehouse. We arrived Friday for our shift. By 10 pm, the DFW warehouse had processed over 60,000 shoe boxes for children. Y’all, 60,000 boxes in one day! That was the 2nd highest quantity in one day since DFW started! We prayed for every single one of those boxes! Not one job at that warehouse is more important than another. Each job plays a crucial part in the process. We worked hard, prayed hard, and loved hard while we were there. An orphan from Asia that received a box when she was 7 years old came and gave her testimony. Children like her are what it’s all about!! She now studies in Dallas and truly has a servant’s heart. She is a light that this world needs all because of a simple little shoe box packed with love and the Holy Spirit. We ate supper with our Simpson County group and my little crew rolled on in last night/this morning (Sunday). The friendships that were made are such a blessing to me and for that I am thankful. Find a way to be thankful every day, not just Thanksgiving day.”
Thank you, Sara…and everyone who made the Dallas trip. Many participated in Simpson County by supplying packed Shoe Boxes…I know this experience is something that will stay with you a life time.
