'I did not know the story the Lord would write upon my life as I carefully unpacked and admired every item inside my Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift.' - Yuliya Shubina, SamaritansPurse Operation Christmas Child shoebox recipient, Central Asia.

I was nine years old when God used a simple shoebox gift to reveal Himself to me. Immediately beneath the lid of a purple plastic container, I saw puppy eyes peeking at me. As I pulled out a stuffed puppy dog, I hugged it tightly wishing I could keep it all to myself. I had never seen a toy this nice and this soft! My sister, cousins, and even friends in the neighborhood all got their turns petting and hugging this puppy dog.

As the days, weeks, and then months passed, I finally pulled out two thick English dictionaries and began writing my shoebox sender a letter. Hours later, I carefully folded my note and sealed the envelope. Just as carefully, I brought the letter to the post office. Several weeks later, I received a blue envelope soaked through with glitter.the note read, forming a pen-pal friendship between my shoebox sender and me for years to come.

When I became a believer in Jesus Christ, I thought my shoebox puzzle was complete. However, God surprised me with the biggest piece in October of 2015 when I had the joy of meeting the family that sent me my shoebox gift! They shared that when they finished packing my shoebox gift and began to pray for the child who would receive it, they felt led to pray specifically that it would go to a country that was closed to the Gospel and to someone who did not know the Lord.
