Pencil Pouches for Operation Christmas Child
*It’s time to start thinking about Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and all the children that will receive one.
Each child receives only one shoebox for their lifetime, and many treasure them even as they grow into adults.
*Many of the boxes have life-changing effects for children. When they receive the shoebox, they also hear the Gospel and have an opportunity to receive Jesus as their Saviour.
*Many of the children live in poverty, and their parents cannot afford to send them to school because they cannot afford to buy the school supplies that they need. They miss out on getting an education and thereby continue in poverty.
*If you would like to make a difference in a child’s life simply by providing school supplies, sponsor a Pencil Pouch or more than one as the Lord leads you. Each pencil pouch will contain two pencils with cap erasers, a pencil sharpener, a block eraser, a yellow highlighter, a blue pen, a black pen, a glue stick, and a 6-inch ruler. Pencil pouches are hanging on a bulletin board next to the Info Center. There is a sponsorship form inside each one. Fill out the form indicating how many pencil pouches you would like to sponsor at $3 each. Return the form and your donation inside the pencil pouch to the Info Booth. They will be available for the next month.
*At the end of the month, we will purchase all the items in bulk to fill the pencil pouches, and we’ll have a pencil pouch packing party in October as we have done in the past.
God bless you as you minister to children all around the world through a simple shoebox gift.

Prayer Requests
- Please pray for our sister in the Lord and friend, Lori.
- I would greatly appreciate thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks. I have been dealing with some fairly significant medical issues over the past few months that have been very stressful and draining. I have been the beneficiary of some amazing nurses and PAs at Oklahoma Heart Hospital and OU’s Neurology Clinic and now have appointments in the next 2 weeks that will determine exactly what treatment will be necessary to hopefully fix or repair these issues. Thank you all in advance. Kenny
- I am asking you to please pray for my 5-day-old niece.
- Please pray for my son, Joseph. He’s apartment hunting out in Seattle, and it's not going well. Please pray that the Lord will open a door as soon as possible. He needs something urgently.
- My father-in-law has prostate cancer, stage 4. Kindly remember him in your prayers; he’s in so much pain.
- Please pray for my friend C; she’s struggling. Her daughter is hooked on fentanyl and lives in the worst part of the city. She hasn't heard from her in 6 days.
- I’m sick; please pray for me to feel better as soon as possible. Thank you. SD
- My husband needs prayers, and so do I. Thank you so much. EL
- Brothers, sisters, prayer warriors: please pray for my son. I believe God is working in his life right now, convicting him, probing his beliefs. Not because I’ve seen any positive movement, but because he’s so angry. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not badgering him with stuff, but I believe if he can send horrible, hate-filled items against Christianity, then I can respond in kind with the love of Jesus. I believe he’s being convicted. Please pray for him and for his fiancé. Thank you.
- My teeth are bothering me, and I’m asking for you to pray for me, please. A
- Please pray for my husband. He had a foot amputation 2 years ago and has lots of ghost pain. He was 30 years sober but has now become an alcoholic again and wants to die and go to Heaven. I don't want him to go yet. He's 74. Thank you so much. I appreciate all of your prayers, as I will also pray for you. God is good.
- My family and I are in desperate need of prayer. I have a niece who is 5 days old and has been in the NICU since she was born. She has been having issues with breathing, including episodes where she stops breathing, and it just happened again, but this time she had a seizure. Can you please pray for her and spread the prayer request as far and wide as you can, because we need a miracle.
- Please pray for a family member who has rhabdomyosarcoma cancer. Thank you. EP
- I have ovarian cancer and feel so alone and sick. I welcome your prayers!
- Please pray for travel mercies for my daughter as she travels to and from Israel and her group.
- Continued prayer for N and her recovery from her surgery.
- Please pray for my adult son. He is married to a very evil woman. She has been seeing other men. He’s heartbroken, but he is afraid to leave her due to financial reasons. He was saved as a young boy, but is not living a godly life. As a mother, it is so hard to sit back and watch this. Also, he can't keep a job. He keeps quitting every job he gets. He needs Jesus.
- I need special prayer for my beautiful daughter. She has severe brain trauma. Someone tried to kill her at the end of April, and she’s not responding. She does wake up and opens her eyes and looks around, but she has severe brain trauma. She’s still alive, so I pray we will see a miracle.
- Friends, please pray for God's divine intervention for my grandson tomorrow. God knows the need.
- Lord, I pray for K & A and their marriage and the issues that they are going through. Please bind up the evil they are facing and remind them You are their Father and the One they need to lean on.
- If you would, please pray for A as his finals are this week. He needs to pass his oral and written tests. Thank you! Jennifer
- Would you please say a prayer for my son, S? He’s been battling addiction for years. He was doing well, but now he is back in active addiction. He looks so terrible, and I'm really frightened for him. I can't imagine losing him. I'm heartbroken.
- Please pray for B & A as they travel to Israel. Keep them safe and bring them back more on fire for You, Lord.
Praise Reports
- My heart is overwhelmed with the beauty that surrounds me, I can't help but praise my Lord for allowing me vision to see His world!
