Please Pray For Other Christians
Throughout the World

Yesterday was The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP). It is a global day of intercession for persecuted Christians worldwide. Its primary focus is the work of intercessory prayer and citizen action on behalf of persecuted communities of the Christian faith.

The IDOP began in 1996 through the efforts of the World Evangelical Fellowship (WEF) in cooperation with a variety of denominations and faith-based organizations. From a core group of approximately 7,000 churches, the IDOP has grown to be the largest prayer day event of its kind in the world. The IDOP is a rallying point for Christians and others to stand behind those who suffer for their faith by providing prayer support and appropriate advocacy.

We want to encourage each individual, family, small group and prayer group this week to continue in prayer on behalf of persecuted Christians throughout the world. God invites us to present to Him our requests and to pray without ceasing. Persecuted Christians often plead for prayer to help them endure. The most we can do is the least we can do — pray.

A Small Shoebox
Makes a BIG Difference

Pine City EFC is once again joyfully partnering with Operation Christmas Child as a Shoebox Collection Site. Because it's time to start shopping for and packing those shoeboxes, we've had a number of calls regarding information about gathering gift items and packing a shoebox for a child. The other question has been what to do with the shoebox once it is packed. Below is a guide to follow.

1. Shoebox
Use an empty shoebox (standard size) or a shoebox size plastic container.You may wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required. While you're packing, pray for the child who will receive your gift.

2. Boy or Girl?
Decide whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child’s age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Print out the appropriate boy/girl label. Mark the correct age category on the label, and tape the label to the top of your box.

3. Fill With Gift Items
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child. Use the gift ideas, if you'd like listed below. Try to include a personal note and picture of yourself for the child. (If you include your name and address, they may write back).

4. Include Your Donation
Please donate $7 or more for each shoebox you prepare. This is to help cover shipping and other project costs. You can write a check to Samaritan’s Purse (note “OCC” on memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items inside your box. If you or your family are preparing more than one shoebox, please make one combined donation.

5. Drop Off
Place a rubber band around each shoebox and drop off at Pine City Evangelical Free Church (or the Collection Site nearest you) during collection week November 16 - 23 (times below).

Drop Off Address:
