Serve Days
// Tim DeTellis
October 1, 2022 officially launched our Shoebox Drive.
However, the preparation to host this annual campaign takes an army of volunteers who come and participate in “serve days” at our home office in Orlando. Our campaign Scripture is: “We love because He first loved us.”
(1 John 4:19) Together, these teams of volunteers truly show their love and generosity of time.
A big thanks to the administration staff of Foundation Academy in Winter Garden, Florida. During the summer, they helped kickoff our shoebox drive packing. The strength of a team serving strong takes our shoebox drive to a higher level of accomplishment. Our vision is too great to accomplish alone.
Foundation Academy in Winter Garden, Florida, sent members of their team to serve a day at New Missions.
Dave Buckles, president of Foundation Academy, has role modeled serving others as a value for their staff and students.
Journey Christian Fellowship from Quinton, Virginia, has traveled and volunteered 13 times to help pack and process shoebox gifts with New Missions. Sarah Pulling leads this team of women and children traveling to Orlando several times each year. They are not just hard working, but are praying strong and having a blast making memories while they serve.
Journey Christian Fellowship from Quinton, Virginia, led their thirteenth team to serve at New Missions. Thank you to Sarah Pulling, the ladies, and the kids who help the students of New Missions by packing shoebox gifts.
During the summer, our serve days volunteers helped pack 3,750 shoebox gifts. These are available for sponsors to order on behalf of their students in our schools. You can order a shoebox gift at newmissions.org/gift and bless the life of a child and their entire family. ~Tim DeTellis
