Episode 123 - Giving when the World is Upside Down Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

During the pandemic, it can be easy to want to conserve as much as possible. However, when compared to much of the world, we still have a lot to give! Today, Operation Christmas Child’s Gracie O’Laughlin sits down with Lee to remind us that giving results in other blessings we might never have imagined: changing our children’s hearts, answering prayers from other countries, and bringing families across the world to Christ. We hope you will join us in partnering with Operation Christmas Child this year to bring hope to many, including countries otherwise closed to the gospel!

About our Guest:
