SAMARITAN PURSE SHOEBOXES

Last year, over 1.3 million children made a decision to follow Christ after receiving a shoebox and choosing to participate in The Greatest Journey follow-up discipleship program! 

If you would like to fill a shoebox this year to bless you can pick up a pre-printed one from Koorong or use a regular shoebox to fill with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for a child in a particular age group. 

Rosemary Box is willing to drop filled shoeboxes off at Koorong before November 14. Speak to Rosemary for more information. 

PRAYER POINTS

– For decisions being made at Synod this week and continue working towards equality of gender, and race/tribe. For all people to be seen as God see’s them.
