How A Shoebox Impacts The Heart Of A Child
Operation Christmas Child | 3:34 OC-250304_OCC Spokesperson Video: Fernando Montano
Fernando grew up in a Christian household but faced hardships during his childhood. However, Fernando knew that God had something special planned for him when he received this Operation Christmas Child shoebox. Each item within his shoebox was special to his heart, but the letter from the boy who packed the shoebox left the most profound impact of all. Reading about how a family across the world carefully picked out each item elevated this shoebox from a nice gesture from a stranger into a heartfelt gift from a friend. The letter from this shoebox was the catalyst for Fernando's walk with Christ to this day, where his family packs their own shoeboxes with similar heartfelt letters so other children can experience the impact of a shoebox worldwide.
