If interested or wanting to know more contact: Katie Ryzebol katie_ryzebol@hotmail.com (905) 251-9045 Hello Bethel Community Church: I am writing to express my thanks for the 121 shoeboxes Bethel Community Church packed. I had hoped to connect with you by phone, but was unable to reach you (I left a message on the church voice mail), and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share how much I value the partnership of your church. Through the 121 shoeboxes you packed, our GTA community collected 62,828 shoeboxes. Across Canada, Operation Christmas Child collected 730,577 gifts – over 30,000 more than the previous year! Each gift is a Gospel Opportunity in the life of a child. Last year alone, over 1.2 million children decided to follow Jesus while participating in The Greatest Journey, the discipleship program that children are invited to after receiving shoeboxes – including boxes packed by your church. I encourage you to visit SamaritansPurse.ca/Celebrate to learn more about the impact of your partnership, and to find ways to share this exciting news with your church. (There is a great Celebration video clip you can share with everyone!) I have also attached a graphic that gives an overview of our 2015 season. I look forward to connecting with you soon and to another great year of Operation Christmas Child together. (I am also available to give a presentation to any of your groups such as a Sunday School class or Senior’s Group.) Thank you for your faithful ministry.
