The numbers are in! Your incredible efforts in 2024 yielded 11,927,439 Gospel Opportunities that were packed, collected, and prayed over, including 10,574,805 in the U.S., an all-time high. Praise God! This milestone would not have been possible without the collective sacrifice and dedication of our Connect Volunteers.
Because of your commitment 11,927,439 children will have the opportunity to hear the Gospel and know Jesus. Millions of these boys and girls will go on to complete The Greatest Journey discipleship program, learning from faithful Ministry Partners in their communities about how to follow Christ and share the Gospel with friends and family.
We praise God for providing an army of Connect Volunteers who serve with extraordinary faith and dedication. Think back to every phone call, every Area Team meeting, every hour labored during National Collection Week, your many prayers, and everything else you and your Area Team accomplished in 2024. It was all worth it! God is using your passion, dedication, and faith to plant millions of seeds in over 100 countries this year, and we are grateful for your partnership in ministry.
Please continue to pray with us. Pray that God would prepare the heart of each shoebox recipient to respond to the Gospel in faith, embrace discipleship, and become a disciple-maker. Pray also for the safe delivery of shoebox gifts and the ministry of our National Leadership Teams and Regional Leadership Teams.
We eagerly anticipate seeing how God will advance His Kingdom through shoebox gifts this year. It is an honor to serve alongside you!
“Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.” Romans 16:25-27, ESV
