A few weeks later a group of friends gathered to fill another 130 boxes with similar items, and also some homemade toys. It’s exciting to know that the children receiving these will experience a fun Gospel presentation at their shoebox distribution party, a Gospel storybook in their language, and, in most places, an opportunity to participate in a twelve-week discipleship program! The shoebox gifts become viable tools for evangelism for local churches around the world. Many churches are greatly expanded by these events, and new churches are birthed because of the simple shoebox gifts!
