AIRPORT CHAPEL / PRAYER ROOM /
MEDITATION / MOSQUE???
by John Fisco
World-wide there are about 150 “chapels” in
airports, with 40 in the United States. Some
are called chapels (66% in the U.S.) others are
Meditation rooms; Prayer rooms; etc. Recently
it has become National news that the Orlando
airport Mgt. is planning a $250,000 Muslim
prayer room (some calling it a Mosque). The
uproar is great, as the reception of a chapel in
many airports is not easily accepted. However
some feel Muslims can get it passed. Franklin
Graham stated: can you even think of Evangelicals asking for $250,000 prayer/chapel to be
built? “Heaven forbid” would probably be the
answer from any airport committee.
five years. Not widely
known news, so therefore the process is slow
in gathering finances to
do just that. The committee is a cross section
of many faiths with 8
person working board
and an 8 member advisory committee. The financial need is great, but
not unattainable. It will cost around $130,000
with roughly $82,000 already raised. Presently
on hold, waiting for a new Airport Director to
be named.
Well, Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport has had a committee and been working
on having a Chapel at the airport for the past
Chairwoman of the airport committee is Ms.
Ruth Agrusa and can be reached at www.mkeairportmeditationroom.org or e-mail at agrusa3@
wi.rr.com or mail at P.O. Box 402, South Milwaukee, WI 50172.
Ms. Agrusa stated that the great need for a Chapel/Prayer room as many times there is heartbreaking news for some people, service men
and women coming and leaving the airport, and
emergencies. A worthy need to be completed as
soon as possible for Milwaukee.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy
hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139:9-10

“And when they could not come
nigh unto Him for the press, they
uncovered the roof where he was: and
when they had broken it up, they let
down the bed wherein the sick of the
palsy lay.” — Mark 2:4
Nearly 30,000 Harvest Crusade Angel
Stadium Attendees; Pastor Greg
Laurie Says Happiness Is Not a Lost
Cause
by Anugrah Kumar
by Charles H. Spurgeon
FAITH is full of inventions. The house was full, a crowd blocked up the
door, but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied
man before Him. If we cannot get
sinners where Jesus is by ordinary
methods we must use extraordinary ones. It seems, according to
Luke 5:19, that a tiling had to be
removed, which would make dust
and cause a measure of danger to
those below, but where the case is
very urgent we must not mind running some risks and shocking some
proprieties. Jesus was there to
heal, and therefore fall what might,
faith ventured all so that her poor
paralyzed charge might have his
sins forgiven. O that we had more
daring faith among us! Cannot we,
dear reader, seek it this morning for ourselves and for our fellow-workers,
and will we not try to-day to perform some gallant act for the love of souls
and the glory of the Lord.
The world is constantly inventing; genius serves all the purposes of human desire: cannot faith invent too, and reach by some new means the
outcasts who lie perishing around us? It was the presence of Jesus which
excited victorious courage in the four bearers of the palsied man: is not
the Lord among us now? Have we seen His face for ourselves this morning? Have we felt His healing power in our own souls? If so, then through
door, through window, or through roof, let us, breaking through all impediments, labour to bring poor souls to Jesus. All means are good and
decorous when faith and love are truly set on winning souls. If hunger for
bread can break through stone walls, surely hunger for souls is not to be
hindered in its efforts. O Lord, make us quick to suggest methods of reaching Thy poor sin-sick ones, and bold to carry them out at all hazards.

SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT
RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT
SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT. ~ ISAIAH 55:11
As tens of thousands of Californians filled Anaheim’s Angel Stadium for
the Southern California Harvest Crusade 2015 on Friday night, pastor and
evangelist Greg Laurie delivered the event’s first nightly message, sharing
how happiness can be experienced through our creator, who is “a happy
God.”
“Deep down inside, everybody wants to be happy. In fact, God prewired us
that way,” Laurie, the founder of Harvest Crusades, told crowd in his message, which followed worship songs by the Christian bands THIRD DAY,
Citizens & Saints and Phil Wickham.
According to the Harvest team, 29,000 people attended in the stadium and
another 29,368 people attended online. There were 2,353 professions of
faith.
Laurie asked how can we experience happiness. Not the way many think.
“I hope everyone can get rich and famous and have everything they ever
dreamed of, so that they’d know that’s not the answer,” Laurie quoted comedian Jim Carrey as saying.
Sharing many other such examples, Laurie said we might wonder if happiness is a lost cause. But it’s not, he added, explaining that the Bible tells us
everything we need to know about being happy as well as about God and
how we can get to heaven.
A Pastor is one who speaks
to your spirit, listens to your
heart, and understands what
words can never say.

Tissue Company Cuts Ties with
Planned Parenthood Over Pro-Life
Videos
by Leigh Jones
Tissue procurement company StemExpress
announced today it is cutting ties with abortion giant Planned Parenthood over bad
press generated by an undercover pro-life
investigation.
In a statement sent to Politico, which first reported the news, StemExpress said it didn’t
want backlash over the practice of harvesting
tissue from aborted babies to detract from its other work.
“We value our various partnerships but, due to the increased questions
that have arisen over the past few weeks, we feel it prudent to terminate
activities with Planned Parenthood,” the statement said. “While we value
our business relationship with Planned Parenthood, that work represents
a small percentage of our overall business activity and we must focus our
limited resources on resolving these inquiries.”
Denver Stalls Chick-fil-A Lease Due
to Its Stand on Same-Sex Marriage
by Anugrah Kumar
Several members of the Denver City Council have stalled a lease for a
Chick-fil-A restaurant at the city’s international airport due to the fastfood chain’s opposition to same-sex marriage.
The Denver City Council’s Business Development Committee has paused
the seven-year deal for two weeks, according to The Denver Post, which
said none of the 10 members who attended this week’s meeting rose to
defend Chick-fil-A.
If the committee, which is scheduled to meet again on Sept. 1, chooses
to reject the lease, any member can introduce it in the full council.

MISSOURI SCHOOL DISTRICT TO OPEN RESTROOMS
TO OPPOSITE SEX
A Missouri school district’s decision to open restrooms to the opposite
sex is drawing a sharp reaction. “And so the ACLU is just pushing a very
radical agenda here and schools should take a strong stance in defending
every student’s rights to dignity, and privacy, and safety,” said Matt Sharp
StemExpress and its work with Planned Parenthood has been the focus of a sting operation conducted by the Center for Medical Progress
(CMP), a new pro-life group that so far has released six videos about the
tissue procurement industry. In undercover footage, Planned Parenthood
executives haggled over prices for dead baby parts with actors posing as
tissue buyers. Abortionists also talked about how they would alter the
abortion procedure to procure the best, and most valuable, parts—heart,
liver, lungs, brains.
In an interview featured in several videos, a former StemExpress employee talked about how the company’s technicians would sometimes
take tissue from an aborted baby without the mother’s consent. She also
detailed the horror of picking through pieces of unborn babies that had
been torn out of the womb, looking for usable specimens.
Both Planned Parenthood, which claims it only gets procurement fees for
fetal tissue, and StemExpress insist they did nothing immoral or illegal.
Selling fetal tissue is a federal crime, as is altering the abortion procedure for any reason other than the mother’s health.
StemExpress, a 5-year-old company based in Placerville, Calif., sells the
tissue it collects to scientists conducting research, including those at state
universities. After CMP started releasing its videos, two congressional
committees asked StemExpress to explain its relationship with Planned
Parenthood.
Earlier this month, StemExpress sued CMP to prevent the group from releasing footage of a meeting with company executives secretly recorded
in May. A judge granted a preliminary injunction preventing CMP from
making the video public, but another judge on Thursday said she doubted StemExpress would prevail when the case goes to court.
CMP’s undercover videos have created an unprecedented backlash
against Planned Parenthood, whose employees come across as callous
and jaded as they discuss pieces of dead children. In one video, a technician picking through remains in a petri dish excitedly announces, “And
another boy!” Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards apologized
for the tone in at least one video but was unrepentant about her organization’s practices.
of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). ADF sent a letter to the Hillsboro,
Mo., R-3 school district board this week, explaining that current law
does not require unisex bathrooms or locker rooms. The American Civil
Liberties Union sent an earlier letter to the district advising that Title IX’s
prohibition against sex discrimination meant boys who identify as girls
and vice-versa must be allowed to used the restrooms of their choice.
The school district so far has not responded to a request for comment.

Same-Sex Marriage Will Affect the Pews Before
the Pulpit
by Peter Sprigg
Peter Sprigg is Senior Fellow for Family Policy Studies at Family Research Council. This article
appeared in The Gospel Coalition on July 14, 2015.
The Supreme Court has asserted that the U. S. Constitution mandates all 50 states to license
civil “marriages” between same-sex couples. You are a pastor who believes that God ordained marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman. You know research
shows that, on average, husbands and wives—and children raised by a married mother and
father—are happier, healthier, and more prosperous than people in other living situations.
What should you do now?
In the immediate term, the answer is “nothing different.” If you believe God ordained marriage
to be the union of one man and one woman, you should continue to perform or host in your church
only weddings that include both a bride and a groom.
The Supreme Court’s decision does not bind churches or clergy. It is about the licensing of civil marriages by
the state. Religious weddings performed by religious institutions or leaders are an (almost) entirely separate question.
THE FIRST AMENDMENT (PROBABLY) PROTECTS PASTORS
Throughout the debate over the potential redefinition of civil marriage,
the question of its effect on religious liberty has been a recurring theme.
Accordingly, the question “Will my church (or pastor) be forced to perform
same-sex weddings?” has often been raised.
Sometimes it’s been raised by Christians who oppose redefining marriage in order to illustrate
the potentially shocking implications of such a
redefinition. Recently, a rumor raced around the
internet that a Vermont pastor had already been
sentenced to a year in jail for refusing to perform
same-sex weddings.
The rumor was implausible from the start, and
was proven to be false, with the purported source
being two “fake news” sites. Even supporters of
marriage redefinition have willingly replied to
such fears, and dismissed them as a straw man.
They assure us: “Same-sex marriage will have no effect on religious liberty—no pastor or church will ever be forced to perform a same-sex wedding.” Some legislatures which have redefined marriage, such as Maryland’s, have said this explicitly in the text of their bills.
The First Amendment probably provides such protection already. For example, states surely may not prohibit a person from marrying someone of
a different religion. Yet, as Justice Elena Kagan pointed out in oral arguments, there are many rabbis who will not perform a wedding of a Jew to
a non-Jew, and they suffer no sanction.
OTHER THREATS TO RELIGIOUS LIBERTY WILL COME FIRST
So if the Supreme Court’s ruling will not force pastors or churches to perform same-sex weddings, is religious liberty perfectly safe? The answer is
an emphatic “No.”
This is because the “free exercise” of religion involves more than just the
performance of religious rituals by religious leaders in a religious setting. President Obama displays a limited, restrictive view when he refers
to “freedom of worship” rather than “freedom of religion.” True religious
freedom involves the freedom of all people of faith not only to believe
but also to act on their beliefs. Most Americans agree with this concept.
Eighty-one percent of Americans in a WPA Opinion Research survey commissioned by Family Research Council agreed that “government should
leave people free to follow their beliefs about marriage as they live their
daily lives at work and in the way they run their businesses.”
Those most immediately affected by the Court’s ruling are public officials
who issue marriage licenses, such as clerks or magistrates. Those unwilling
to actively participate in same-sex “marriage” should have some ability to
opt out, as legislatures in Utah and North Carolina have acted to ensure.
Yet some people—such as the editorial board of the New York Times—
actively oppose any such accommodation, spuriously equating a sincere
belief that marriage is the union of a man and a
woman with racism and segregation.
Persons in private businesses will also come under new pressure, similar to what we’ve seen in
the wedding industry. Christian business owners—photographers, florists, and bakers—who
have declined to participate in the celebration of
same-sex “weddings” have already been dragged
into court and subjected to crushing fines. We can
expect more of this coercion.
Non-profit status and a religious affiliation or purpose will also not be enough to protect an organization from legal pressure. If Christian colleges
decline to rent married-student housing to legally
married same-sex couples, will federal tax-exempt status, student loan
funds, or (worse yet) accreditation be threatened?
CONCERNS FOR YOUR CHURCH
There are many ways a local church could be affected even if its pastor is
not. For example, if a church rents facilities to groups in the community,
some may claim it’s a “public accommodation” and should be open to a
same-sex wedding and/or reception. (Churches should specify in writing
what their policies are for such events. The Alliance Defending Freedom
offers models for churches to use.)
Further, some already claim tax exemptions are a form of government subsidy and should not be available to those out of step with public policy.
This applies not just to the income tax exemption church members get
for their donations, but also to the exemption from local property taxes
churches as an organization enjoy. Could your church afford the property
taxes on all your buildings and land?
Finally, pastors may not be ordered to perform same-sex weddings—but
they might be forbidden to solemnize civil marriages if they refuse.
Not all of these infringements on religious liberty will take place immediately. Some may be avoided altogether. Legislators at both the state and
federal level should act as soon as possible to forestall them.
However, if the freedom of clergy to refuse same-sex weddings is all that is
protected, true religious liberty will be lost.

GET UP WILLIAM!
On a sunny morning, William’s mother came into her son’s room and said, “William, it’s
Sunday. Time to get up! Time to get up and go to church! Get up!”
From under the covers came mumbles, “I don’t want to go!”
“What do you mean?” she said. “That’s silly! Now get up and get dressed and go to church!”
“No!” he shot back. “I’ll give you two reasons. I don’t like them and they don’t like me!”
“Nonsense,” she told him. “I’ll give YOU two reasons to go. First, you are 42 years old, and
second, you are the PASTOR!”
Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who
will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be
unprofitable for you. ~ Hebrews 13:17 (HCSB)

Researchers Digitally Unwrap
Ancient, Charred Leviticus Scroll
(WNS)–The contents of a 1,500-year-oldparchment scroll, burned so badly it could
not be opened without destroying it, has
remained a mystery since its excavation, 45
years ago, from inside the Holy Ark of the
synagogue at Ein Gedi, Israel, on the western
shore of the Dead Sea. But scientists at the
University of Kentucky recently used a new
software program to digitally unwrap parts
of the document and analyze its text. They
were surprised to find the first eight verses of the book of Leviticus enshrouded within the scroll. The most ancient manuscript of Leviticus
that archeologists have discovered so far dates to the first century B.C.
and is part of the Dead Sea scrolls. Researchers have found no other copies of the book dated to within a thousand years of that. “It is important
to go as far back as possible to the original sources and to have continuous examples of copies of texts without one-thousand-year gaps where
we can lose track of things,” Seales said.
India’s government blocks access to porn websites
(WNS)–Millions of India’s online movie-browsers met a mysterious information blockade as
laptops glowed with a cryptic message: “This
site has been blocked as per the instructions of
Competent Authority.” India’s government required internet service providers to block 857
objectionable websites. Telecommunication of-
ficials say the sweeping censorship is meant to
control easy access to sexually explicit material.
The government made no official statement to
defend the sweeping censorship, but telecommunications officials say the order is meant to
promote moral decency and protect children.
“Free and open access to porn websites has
been brought under check,” N.N.
Kaul, spokesman
for India’s telecom department,
told Reuters, adding, “We don’t want them to
become a social nuisance.”
Sweet Cakes Raises Almost Triple State Fine on Faith-Based Funding Site
by Sarah Padbury
Christians looking to raise
funds for religious liberty
causes have a new crowdfunding option that won’t
kick them off the site for
defending their faith.
In April, popular crowdfunding site GoFundMe
halted a campaign raising money for Aaron
and Melissa Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by
Melissa. Oregon’s labor commissioner found
the couple guilty of violating state anti-discrimination laws when they refused to bake
a cake for a same-sex commitment ceremony
and ordered them to pay $135,000 in damages to the lesbian couple. Activists brought the
fundraiser to the attention of GoFundMe staff,
who declared it in violation of the site’s terms
of agreement. Company policy says the site
cannot be used “in defense of formal charges
of heinous crimes, including violent, hateful,
or sexual acts.”
But friends opened a new campaign in August using Continue to Give (CTG)
(CTG), a faithbased giving platform, with the goal of raising
$150,000. In just two weeks, the campaign has
raised $390,000 and boasts more than 20,000
social media “shares” and 8,400 comments
from well-wishers.

10,000 STAND UP FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, BIBLICAL MORALS AT SC’S “WE STAND WITH GOD” RALLY
At least 10,000 people gathered at the South Carolina State House for “Stand with God, Pro-Family Rally,” where Republican presidential candidates
and U.S. senators spoke about faith and moral issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion.
High School Marching Band Benched over Christian Hymn
by Todd Starnes
There was no halftime show under the Friday night lights at Mississippi’s Brandon
High School — the marching band had been
benched.
The band was ordered off the field because the
Christian hymn “How Great Thou Art” was a
part of their halftime show — in violation of a
federal court order.
“The Rankin County School Board and District
Office are very saddened students will not be
able to perform their halftime show they have
worked so hard on this summer,” the district
wrote in a statement to the Clarion Ledger
newspaper.
In 2013 a student sued the district over a series
of Christian meetings that had been held on
school property, the newspaper reported. The
district later settled the lawsuit and acknowledged they had violated the student’s First
Amendment rights.
In July, U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves
ruled the district had violated the agreement
after a Christian minister delivered a prayer at
an awards ceremony.
Judge Reeves, who was appointed to the bench
by President Obama, came down hard on the
school district — ordering them to pay thousands of dollars in fines. He also warned the
district that future violations would cost them
$10,000.
“Defendants are permanently enjoined from
including prayer, religious sermons or activities in any school sponsored event including
but not limited to assemblies,
graduations, award ceremonies, athletic events and any
other school event,” the order reads.
Word about the band getting
benched spread across the
town quicker than kudzu. I
must have received emails
and Facebook messages from
nearly the entire state.
Something must be done to
right this wrong, people said.
A message had to be sent to
the likes of Judge Reeves. Locals gathered in coffee shops
and garages to devise their plan.
And what they did — would become known as
the musical shot heard around the world.
During halftime of Friday night’s game – a lone
voice began to sing the forbidden song.
“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee,”
the singer sang. And then – something remarkable happened.
Brittany Mann was there and she witnessed
the entire moment of defiance.
“We were just sitting there and then one by
one people started to stand,” she told me. “At
first, it started out as a hum but the sound got
louder and louder.
She said it was a “truly incredible” moment to watch
hundreds of people singing together in the stadium – a musical act of civil
disobedience.
“We may be pictured as
toothless, barefoot, uneducated people around the
country, but we are far from
it,” nearby resident Mandy
Miller told me. “I’m from Mississippi and I’m not ashamed
to take a stand.”
Oh what a sight it must have
been — as hundreds and
hundreds of people stood together and with
one voice — sent a message to Judge Reeves.
“This is the kind of thing that makes me proud
to be from the South,” Miss Mandy told me.
“We are getting tired of being told to sit down
and shut up. People are ready to fight back.”
Miss Mandy is absolutely right. The time has
come to stand up to the secularists. The time
has come to put an end to their cultural jihad.
I hope the Rankin County School Board will
reconsider its decision and allow the marching
band to resume performing “How Great Thou
Art.”
And should Judge Reeves make good on his
threat to financially punish the school district,
I will personally pay the $10,000 fine.

Book Reviews
Called for Life by Kent & Amber Brantly
How Loving Our Neighbor Led Us into the Heart of the Ebola Epidemic
Called for Life tells the gripping inside story of Dr. Kent and Amber Brantly’s call to serve their neighbors, as well as Kent’s fight
for life against Ebola and Amber’s struggle to support him from
half a world away. Most significant, “Called for Life” reminds us
of the risk, the honor, and the joy to be known when God and
others are served without reservation. Waterbrook Press $23.00
“Compelling, factual, and emotional, “Called for Life” draws readers to reflect on their own journeys to faith in Christ” ~ Nancy
Writebol, SIM missionary and fellow Ebola Survivor
“You will be riveted by this extraordinary couple who are called for life to serve the
Lord Jesus Christ – the Great Physician!” ~ Franklin Graham, president and CEO,
Samaritan’s Purse and Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
Agents of Babylon by David Jeremiah
What the Prophecies of Daniel Tell Us about the End of Days
Throughout history, Babylon has been a symbol of the world’s
worst evils – extreme decadence, infinite cruelty, ravenous power, and implacable contention against God. And nowhere in the
Bible do we get a more vivid picture of the malevolent nature of
Babylon than the book of Daniel.
Teeming with prophetic markers and visions – many of which
have already been fulfilled – the parallels between the world described in the book of Daniel and the world we are living in today
are positively staggering.
Agents of Babylon not only offers an in-depth exploration of the characters and
prophecies contained in the book of Daniel but also includes a dramatic retelling of
Scripture that brings ancient prophecy to light like never before. The prophecy is
clear. Babylon is ascending, and Daniel’s dreams contain the clues to weathering
the nightmare that is yet to come. Tyndale Publishing $24.99
These and other cds and books reviewed in the Christian
Courier Newspaper can be obtained at ProBuColls Bookstore,
9733 W Greenfield Ave, Milwaukee by calling 414-344-7300. All
books are sold at a discounted price.
Counter Culture by David Platt
Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are
being drawn – traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs.
pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection.
Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right
and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by
popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves
into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes,
Christians everywhere are asking the same question. In “Counter Culture” author David Platt shows Christians how to actively
take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism,
and religious liberty and challenges us to become passionate, unwavering voices
for Christ.
THE LINES HAVE BEEN DRAWN. The moment has come for Christians to rise up
and deliver a gospel message that’s more radical than even the most controversial
issues of our day. Tyndale Publishers $19.99
9 Traits of A Life-Giving Mom by Sue Detweiler
Replacing My Worst With God’s Best
Is it really possible to be your best in the midst of the worst?
Yes…with God!
In her honest, transparent and practical way, Sue Detweiler offers the help you need. Traits of a Life-Giving Mom will help
you overcome unresolved issues to become a better mom,
find peace with imperfections and learn from your mistakes,
tap into God’s power to break negative patterns, and joyfully
become your best you. Morgan James Publishing $16.99
Pulling Back the Shades by Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery
You don’t have to choose between being sexual or spiritual.
Spiritual women have legitimate desires that are seldom addressed – and books like “Fifty Shades of Grey” are designed to
exploit! Yet, spirituality and sexuality were never meant to be
mutually exclusive. Now, with solid biblical teaching and transparent stories, trusted authors Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery offer an unflinching look at the most personal questions
women ask. Whether you are single or married, reading erotica
or Jane Austen, Pulling Back the Shades will address your desire
to be both sexual and spiritual. Moody Publishers $11.99
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me:
for of such is the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matthew 19:14

Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin
Graham. National Collection Week for gift-filled shoeboxes is November
16-23; however, shoebox gifts are collected year-round at the Samaritan’s
Purse headquarters in Boone, North Carolina. During National Collection
Week, some 4,000 drop-off locations will open their doors to receive gifts
in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
Using special tracking technology, participants can follow their box online
to discover where in the world their gift is delivered by using the donation
form found at:
http://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/
follow-your-box/
A small shoebox can have a big impact. What goes into the box is fun,
but what comes out of it is eternal. Be a part of changing children’s lives
all over the world in Jesus’ Name through the power of a simple gift with
Operation Christmas Child.
“At any given time there are more than 8,500 volunteers across the United
States making important progress in our effort to collect as many gift-filled
shoeboxes as possible,” said Randy Riddle, Operation Christmas Child Director in the United States. “Each shoebox gift represents one more child
who will learn he or she is loved and not forgotten.”
Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered gift-filled shoeboxes
to more than 124 million children in more than 150 countries and territo-
ries. In 2015, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect enough shoebox
gifts to reach another 11 million children.
To get more information on how to fill a shoebox, go to www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline
The Purpose of Operation Christmas Child is to use gift-filled shoeboxes to
share God’s love in a tangible way with needy children around the world.
More than 2.8 million children have participated in The Greatest Journey,
the 12-lesson discipleship program created by Samaritan’s Purse for children who receive Operation Christmas Child boxes. The Greatest Journey is one of the largest discipleship programs in the world, implemented
through a global church network to help children know and follow Jesus
Christ.
