In September and October people in Mt. Hope and Wauzeka churches collected items and packed 48 shoeboxes for Christmas in a Shoebox program. In November the shoeboxes were delivered to the area collection site at Bethany Alliance Church in Fennimore. Wednesday Night Kids braided jump ropes out of t-shirts to put in each box. An update on the 2023 number of boxes collected was recently received. In the US alone 10,051,570 Gospel opportunities were collected. Other countries donated 1,278,556 for a total worldwide of 11,330,126. Precious children in over 100 countries will hear about Jesus. It is a joy to be part of this gospel outreach. Start collecting gifts for the 2024 collection. There is no need to buy a jump rope as there are plenty left from the 2023 inventory!
