OCC Shoe Box Impact Stories: Costa Rica

In San Ramon Christian Community Church, there is a two-year-old boy called David Leal Jarquin. David is a special needs child whose doctor has recommended the use of soft, bright colored toys to stimulate his senses. But his parents haven‟t been able to afford these toys. They were truly surprised when they opened the shoe box for their son and found the kind of toys that the doctor had recommended.

[Editor's Note: During this week of Thanksgiving I thought it would be nice to share some stories from kids and their families receiving shoe boxes from Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. My friend Stacey Wilson from SP OCC, who has written for this blog before, was kind enough to send them to me. Even though last week was the official collection week for the shoe boxes, the organization collects and delivers them all year long. I want to encourage you to keep Samaritan's Purse, as well as all the children who receive these boxes in your prayers. That children all around the world will be led to the feet of Christ, one shoe box at a time.]
