Today's episode is sponsored by Samaritan's Purse:

Did you know that since Operation Christmas Child began, more than 178 million children in over 160 countries and territories have received a gift-filled shoebox?

As the coronavirus continues to spread and cause untold suffering, children need hope and joy now more than ever. This year we anticipate reaching another 11 million children with shoebox gifts. Every child who receives a shoebox gift hears of the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. Each year over 4 million shoebox recipients also participate in a discipleship program called The Greatest Journey. Through this 12-lesson Bible-based course, children come to know Jesus, learn to follow and obey him, share their faith, and pray for friends and family members. This often results in further evangelism, discipleship, and the multiplication of new churches in their communities.

Visit Samaritan's Purse online at https://samaritanspurse.org/occ to learn how you can pack a shoebox gift and be part of this global effort to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
