Sylva Rena Baptist Church, located at 17640 Highway 32, Water Valley, will host the Delta Hills Operation Christmas Child team for a time of celebrating what God has done this past year.
The event will be held Saturday, March 4, at 2 p.m.
Edouard Ndecky of West Africa will be the special guest and will talk about how an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift helped to change his life.
Life in West Africa was not easy for Edouard’s family. There were a lot of “didn’t haves” — they didn’t have a roof, much food, beds or the opportunity to go to school.
Still, Edouard’s father, a carpenter and pastor, set the tone for the family’s happy home. Instead of fixating on what they didn’t have, he encouraged his family to focus on what they did have — Jesus Christ, and to trust in Him to meet their needs.
When Edouard received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift at age 14, he saw it as a gift from God.
Hear how the gift contained much-needed items that the family hadn’t had before, along with a fun gift that brought Edouard and his siblings and friends great joy.
