Romania Shoeboxes - WE DID IT!

A huge, huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed in any way to this year’s appeal. We managed a new record – 873 boxes! This is an incredible total, beyond our wildest dreams. Not only are we so grateful for every single box that was filled, but also for the 40+ people who gave up their time to help sort and pack them ready for shipping. They were safely delivered on Monday morning so please pray for a safe and “event-free” journey across Europe to Reghin. Team Romania

Text for the year 2023:

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” – Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV
