"Christmas Boxes" in April!
This morning it was Christmas in April at the Memba Chapel. For a couple of years Samaritan's Purse has sent the church in Gabon containers of "Christmas Boxes", presents for children in a plastic "shoe boxes". These have not come down into the Southern part of the country where I live but other boxes have. Pastor Joshua Thompson grew up in Gabon as a "Missionary Kid". His California church sent out boxes of gift items for some of the children in this area. This morning Missionary Amanda Kelly, her three children and I had fun handing these boxes out to surprised children, age 2-13. See some photos of the morning.

Praise God for the gifts to the children. I bet you enjoyed handing them out. Your blog looks fantastic, the flowers are beautiful in Gabon.

Aww this is so exciting! I know a few churches around here that collect shoe boxes for places. It is nice to see the results of this.
