This year’s 13th Operation Christmas Child was another incredible success...in large measure because of our Prestonwood family and you!
The massive efforts will also be remembered for the on-going support of our church staff, the tremendous help provided by many of our Prestonwood Christian Academy students, and the colorful presentation of hundreds of shoebox gifts brought by the children of Prestonwood under the leadership of Sondra Saunders, Diana Pendley, and Yvonne Pickens!
More than 200 Prestonwood members served with us...side-by-side...in helping greet people, receiving, staging, counting, and loading the boxes. Please know that it remains such valued support and a tremendous encouragement.
As the Collection Center for Greater Dallas, we were blessed to receive more than 38,800 shoebox gifts which were loaded into more than 2,800 cartons. This is so huge. A banner year!
Now, join us in praying for the next step. Just picture the happiness these gift-filled shoeboxes … with the message of hope in Christ … will bring when they’re placed in the hands of hurting and needy children all over the world!
Again, please know how much we appreciate all the help from you and our Prestonwood members, who contributed greatly to the fun and marked success of Operation Christmas Child 2006!
