We hope you’ve been finding this series about Operation Christmas Child as impactful as we have! This final series episode features Alex Nsengimana, whose life was transformed when he received a shoebox full of goodies – his very first gift. Alex, originally from Rwanda, shares his harrowing story of surviving the 1994 genocide, during which he lost close family members. As a child, Alex experienced profound despair until he received that Operation Christmas Child shoebox at an orphanage. This simple act of kindness sparked hope and planted a seed of faith in Alex’s life.
Through years of struggle and questions about God’s love and justice, Alex eventually found healing and forgiveness. He recounts the miracles of how God protected him during the genocide, leading to his acceptance of Jesus Christ. Today, Alex serves as a spokesperson for Operation Christmas Child, sharing his story to inspire others to contribute to this life-changing mission. He wants to encourage YOU, retiree, to bring this special project to your home, neighborhood, church, or community
