I personally want to thank everyone who helped in any way with the OCC shoeboxes! Crooked Oak was able to pack 68 boxes this year! Our boxes along with 10,637 others from Northwest Alabama were sent off to begin their journey around the world!

“I just received the closing report from our Northwest Alabama area. Drumroll, please… Final totals: 10,637 shoeboxes and 703 cartons! That is a 45% increase in shoeboxes and a 41% increase in cartons over 2020 numbers. God has definitely blessed your efforts this year. Please extend our thanks to everyone who helped with your drop-off locations. And, of course, I thank each one of you for the excellent service you have given this year. Think on this…because of your efforts this collection season 10,637 children around the world will hear about Jesus, most of them for the first time. Continue praying for the processing, transporting, and distributing of all shoeboxes. Most of all pray for the children who will receive them. Thank you again for an exceptional NCW 2021.”
