You will have the opportunity to purchase a fully packed shoebox for $55, which will be given to the child you choose to “adopt.” Each shoebox will include essentials like socks, a toothbrush, toys, and even a Bible. Soon, we will display the names and pictures of the children on a Christmas tree, giving you the chance to select a child to bless. In the future, you will also have the opportunity to communicate with your adopted child, building a meaningful connection across the miles.
