Since joining the New Missions team in February, I have witnessed God’s hand at work and felt a special purpose in being here.

I entered this ministry hoping to make an impact, but I now believe God’s intention was for me to be impacted. There’s no joy quite like being a part of a ministry. Getting to witness the profound difference being made in these children’s lives here at New Missions is a special joy.

God can use people in any environment to create change. Making a difference can appear daunting, but often the most significant contributions can come from the smallest actions done in love. Our 19th annual Shoebox Drive is the perfect opportunity to do something that may seem small to us, but is an eternal blessing to these children and their families.

From October 1 to December 31, 2026, you can join us in sharing the greatest gift we can give: the love of Jesus. Whether you order a shoebox, pack your own to give through your church’s drive, or ship it directly to our Orlando office, your contribution matters. Our individual actions may be small, but with God and each other, we can have a greater impact. Will you join us and be one more? ~Ainsley Moree
