The Christmas Shoebox Project was launched in 2005 for the children in the work camps and orphanages in the area. Visit our photo gallery to see some of the kids we were able to touch. Because this project is such a blessing to the children involved, it has become a regular part of our ministry here!

Last year we were able to give away over 200 Christmas shoeboxes and more than 100 stuffed animals to poor children around the Guaymas area, up from less than 90 in 2005. These boxes were donated by the generous and wonderful people of New Mexico. They were filled with school supplies (children must buy their own supplies here), personal hygiene and grooming items, toys and candy. For 2007, we are hoping for more shoeboxes in order to better meet the need, and from all reports, interest is growing! Also, this year we are approaching some of the New Mexico area corporations in hopes that they might contribute to this project as well. Please keep this in your prayers!
