2006 Operation Christmas Child Results

Dear Editor:
What an incredible year 2006 was!  Once again God has shown His faithfulness and poured out His blessing on the ministry of Operation Christmas Child.

Millions of children around the world will hear about the greatest gift of all – a personal relationship with Jesus Christ – because of a simple shoebox and the prayers that have gone with it.

Final shoebox numbers from the international partners are still being received but we do have these amazing numbers from the Carolinas:

Shoeboxes collected in Clarendon County–1,916 (a 22 percent increase from 2005); shoeboxes collected in S.C.– 136,385 (a 24 percent increase); shoeboxes collected in N.C.– 449,698 (a three percent increase), Carolina total–586,083.

God did some incredible things through you in Clarendon County in 2006.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

Sincerely,
Ed and Sheila Strack
Manning, S.C.
