Samaritan's Purse

We were able to hand out shoeboxes while we were in Egypt to many children. This photo was taken in Cairo in the Deaf School. We were preparing to hand them to the children as they came through the room. We did not have enough for each child there as it is impossible to ever have enough when you have no idea how many children there will be. It is so hard to tell children that you have no more to give. They all have such a sweet spirit and I never saw a child throw a fit because they walked away empty handed.


If you have ever participated in Operation Christmas Child and filled a shoebox...Thank you so much. What an honor it was to see them receive these boxes in person. Sometimes we tire of giving when we do not see the fruits of the gift. Please know that each box is loved and received with such joy. The video is of the children at the orphanage receiving the gifts. We had enough for these children as we were told ahead of time exactly how many children there would be.
