Answered Prayers---"Coloring was a special treat for Yarelin, because her parents didn’t have money for crayons.  When Yarelin opened her shoebox gift that was filled to the brim, she was overjoyed to see “many beautiful things” such as a stuffed animal and sunglasses.  But what really caught her attention was the set of crayons.  “God is very good,” Yarelin said. “I am grateful and happy to know that Jesus loves me.  I will continue to come to church to learn more about Jesus.”

Answered Prayers---"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations” Ephesians 3:20-21

 

Praying for a towel-Vetegea had been pleading with her mother for a bath towel.  But her mother didn’t have money to spare, so Vetegea prayed for God to provide a towel.  Vetegea was thrilled when she opened her shoebox gift and saw a pink towel-a tangible answer to prayer for a little girl in a remote, improverished village in Africa who trusted God.

 

God Provides a Doll-Kangeloo desperately wanted a doll.  Her imagination had become her companion as she would carry around a large stone and pretend that it was her doll, her friend.  Kangeloo’s mother, Nagee, was overwhelmed with joy as she  her daughter hold the doll that was packed inside of her shoebox.  “This is her first time to receive toys,” she said. “I am so happy”.

 

A Soccer Ball for Randy-Although Basketball and volleyball are the sports of choice in the Marshell Islands, Randy likes soccer the best.  He wanted to learn to play and asked his mother for a soccer ball, but she couldn't find one anywhere on their island.  Randy was so excited to find both a soccer ball and pump inside his shoebox gift that was lovingly packed in Jesus’ name.

From Nambia: “When I pray, He answers.”
Gatanabe lines in a community a few hours away from Nagee and
Knageloo. Although Gaanabe works hard at the local school, scraping
together enough funds to provide for herself and her three children has
always been difficult. She doesn’t get paid much, and sometimes, not even
on a regular basis. Gatanabe longs to do more for her family.
She is heartbroken every time her children have a need that she can’t
meet. For a while, her youngest daughter, Vetegea, had been pleading with
her for a bath towel. “Every day she’s asking me to buy her a towel,”
Gatanabe said. “She told me that she was praying to God; Please let my
mother have a lot of money so she can buy me a towel.”
But the young mother didn’t have money to spare for a towel. Still, she
trusted that God would provide for her daughter. “I know Jesus is my helper
when I pray, He answers.” Gatanabe said. “I see changes in my life.”
Gatanabe and Vetegea’s prayers were answered in a most
unexpected way-through the kindness of people they had never met.
During an Operation Christmas Child outreach event in her community,
Vetegea received a gift-filled shoebox pack in Jesus’s name. Gatanabe
was amazed when her daughter came home and proudly showed her the
towel that was inside her shoebox.
“It ls a blessing, “ Gatanabe said.
Vetegea enjoyed many other gifts in the shoebox, such as a teddy
bear. Still, the towel was by far her favorite, as it represented a tangible
answer to prayer from a little girl in a remote impoverished village in Africa
who trusted God.
Gatanabe is excited about Vetegea participating in The Greatest
Journey and learning more about the Bible and God’s love. She said that
she hopes the discipleship classes will encourage her daughter to continue
attending church and growing in her faith. “I want her to be a child of God.”
