2020
As we all know, 2020 was a year of challenges. But we also know that with God, challenges are simply opportunities for God's glory to shine! Even though we were heartbroken when our plans for the 2020 spring trip were initially halted, we moved ahead in faith that God would provide a path forward. That is exactly what He did. In May, God opened a door for us to deliver our Hope Boxes to children in Appalachia. In many cases, we were able to partner with the school transportation divisions to be able to deliver the boxes directly to the children even though schools were virtual. It was a trip much different than we had planned, but it was just what God wanted! Small teams were able to deliver thousands of boxes, and we were able to pray with school administrators and staff. God is good!
Likewise, our 2020 fall trip was different than we had planned, but just what God wanted. Thanks to the generosity of many of our partners, we were able to deliver thousands of hats and gloves, coats, blankets, and other winter supplies to many children throughout Appalachia. Thanks to the generous hearts of many of our partners, there are thousands of children in Appalachia experiencing the warmth and love of Jesus Christ! God blessed us with being able to take a second trip in early December to deliver Christmas presents to children that may not have experienced the blessing of a gift for Christmas. God is good!
