Young woman to speak about impact of Operation Christmas Child

Oksana Nelson, once an orphan, now a young woman who lives in Weatherford and attends Weatherford College, received an Operation Christmas Child shoe box in her Russian orphanage 10 years ago.

“I opened my box slowly and was overwhelmed by all of the gifts it held. It was so impacting seeing the faces of the two children in the photo that cared about someone they didn’t even know on the other side of the world. A simple ‘thank-you’ for the love they sent me in that shoe box would never be enough,” Nelson said.

Nelson and her family pack shoe boxes every year to share the impact of a simple gift. She will be speaking with Regional Director Mark Cooper Nov. 9 at Fellowship Bible Church in Jacksonville at 10:30 a.m. Fellowship Bible Church is located at 817 E. Rusk St., Jacksonville.

Where to look in the Bible when we are in danger
When we are in danger, read Psalm 91. Verses 9-13 tell us some of the ways the Lord protects us, “If you say, ‘The LORD is my refuge, and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command His angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.”

What would you ask of God?
If God spoke to you and told you could ask Him for one thing and He would grant it, what would you ask for? Before you read any further, take some time to think about that question. If the Creator of all there is offered to grant you one request, what would you consider the ultimate gift from Almighty God?

Listening for that trumpet call
I was awakened recently by a loud blast that sounded like a horn blowing. Guess what my first thought was. Yep, I wondered, “Is this it? Is that the trumpet call?”
