Check out my interview with Alex from Operation Christmas Child on the H3 Leadership Podcast Episode 281. Listen in to the convo through Apple Podcasts or Spotify or on the Website.
A special episode with some leadership thoughts on what is happening in London and the UK in terms of the Church, revival, leadership and some highlights of my recent trip. Plus we sit down with Alex Nsengimana from Rwanda and part of the OCC team to hear his incredibly powerful story of being impacted in his childhood by the work of Operation Christmas Child and receiving a Christmas shoebox. Plus check out the Top Weekly Leadership List. Make sure to access the Show Notes at the H3 Leadership website.
Special thanks to OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD and FOSTER THE CITY for their partnership on this episode.
Join in on the Christmas shoebox campaign this fall! Operation Christmas Child has been reaching millions of children each year with the good news of Jesus Christ through simple shoebox gifts. Get involved at http://samaritanspurse.org/OCC. Even in the hardest to reach places of the world, churches are being planted and communities are transformed. You can pack a shoebox this year and reach a child with the good news of Jesus. National Collection Week is November 17-24. Build your shoebox and find everything you need to get started by visiting http://samaritanspurse.org/OCC.
Foster the City was launched out of Echo Church in CA, and now over 350 churches around the US are raising up Foster Families and Support Teams to take on the thousands of kids needing a foster family. Learn more at http://fosterthecity.org. Working towards a day when there will be a waiting list of churches instead of a waiting list of children in need of a home. Foster the City believes there is a church for every child. Learn how you and your church can partner and get involved at http://fosterthecity.org.
