The Shoebox Lady

I had the chance to meet Mary Damron aka "The Shoebox Lady" today. Mary is a spokesperson for Samaritan's Purse and Operation Christmas Child. She was kind enough to come to our church this morning to challenge, encourage and inspire folks about Operation Christmas Child.

She is one of the most amazing speakers I've ever heard. She grew up in the poorest county in West Virginia. A few years ago she set out on a mission which ended up taking her, as she puts it, "from the White House to the garbage dumps of the world."

I left inspired about what God can do with something as simple and small as a shoebox. I think you will be too. Check out her story in this video.
