ADOPT A CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX . . .

Deadline: TBA for 2021

 

Please include $5 for each bag to help cover the cost of shipping.

(cash or check payable to Body & Soul Ministries)

 

It will soon be time to start packing your Shoeboxes!  Shoeboxes are for both sponsored and unsponsored children, so everyone can “adopt” a Box!  If your Shoebox is for a child you sponsor, please write their ID# and name on the outside of the shoebox.  If it is for an unsponsored child, please indicate the approx. age (2-4, 5-9, 10-14) and whether it is for a boy or a girl.  Be sure to let them know who it is from – add a note or photo of yourself or your family!  And most importantly, PRAY for the child who will be receiving your Christmas Shoebox!

 

If you wish, you can decorate your Shoebox with stickers before filling it,

then just secure your shoebox with a string or rubber band but

PLEASE DO NOT SEAL THE BOXES

 They must each be inspected before they are shipped.

 

Shoeboxes (size 12" x 7" x 5") are available through Body & Soul Ministries to be used for the gifts.  If you live in the upper East Tennessee/Southwest Virgina area and would like to pick up one or more of these Shoeboxes for yourself, your Church or Sunday School group, or other organization, please contact:

bodyandsoulministries.belize@gmail.com

 

If you are outside our area, you can still pack a Shoebox!!  We will work with you to get you the shoeboxes your church or organization need or you can use a plastic box of approximate size.  Or you can just mail your items and we will transfer your items to the Shoeboxes!  Please mail to:

Ralph N. Digman was the founder of Body & Soul Ministries. Early on October 16, 2017, he saw the face of Jesus and it took his breath away. He is now at the feet of his Father. Ralph touched so many people both in the U.S. and in Belize. He was a mighty servant of our Lord.  Please pray especially for the love of his life, Penny.  

If you wish to honor Ralph, Penny has asked that a donation be made in Ralph's memory to Body & Soul Ministries, P.O. Box 2339, Church Hill, TN 37642.

 

Rest in Peace good and faithful servant.  We all miss you!
