The Shoebox Effect

Make sure to join us for Operation Christmas Child this year and check our calandar for more local events.

Growing up in Rwanda, Alex Nsengimana experienced firsthand the tragedies of his nation’s genocide. At the height of tribal unrest, the genocide claimed the lives of his caregivers. Fleeing for his life, Alex escaped the gunmen and eventually ended up in an orphanage. It was there that he received a shoebox from Operation Christmas Child a year later and he remembers being so excited to have a gift to call his own.

The shoebox gift sowed seeds of hope and love that he desperately needed. He realized that God had a specific plan for his life. Alex now serves with Operation Christmas Child, paying forward the hope and love he received through a shoebox gift.

Join us for a special time of Alex telling his story of redemption and forgiveness.
