This was MY shoebox. It's true. The shoebox Juan Warkentin received in this video came from me. What a story. In his shoebox, Heidi and I left a photo and card with our names on it. He kept that card all those years. Juan contacted me shortly after he was adopted and moved to Canada. It blows my mind how a tiny gesture of goodwill and encouragement to someone I didn't know could change so many lives. Hallelujah!
Im so glad I came across this. My family is from Nicaragua so I witness the devastion that is occuring. The story of Juan is a story that all american children should hear to be appreciative of what they have. And in God's hand, I would love to adopt. Thanks for posting this.
This project also exists in German-speaking countries! I live in Austria and my sister and I contributed two boxes this year and last year!:) They normally go to countries in easter-Europe...
I went down to Nicaragua in August with SP. It was my third OCC trip as well. It was an awesome experience. Words cannot describe the joy on the children's faces when they recieved thier boxes.
Everyone that cares i encourage you to pack as many boxes for those little ones in the poor countries, cause really when they get them you have no idea what its like for them,what it means to their families that they recieve these amzing gifts from us. Its so fun. After my experience there,.I truely miss it..and the ones that were met along the way. Amazing place . Gods created beautiful things! Juan's got a great story thats all worht listening to. Remember everyone Jesus Loves You
This is something that does touch the heart. I was also just in Nicaragua in back in August for 2 weeks. And i also know what its like to see the happiness in those children's faces. Juan has a great story as well. What an amazingly great experience !! I'm actually gonna go to the HQ soon to help pack these boxes for more children around the world this year.
This is great! I didn't know Juan had made this video. I'm so stoked to see him talking about this subject that is so close to his heart. I love this guy! Thanks for posting this.
I jsut came back on Friday from the Nicaragua with SP. So seeing this Video and hearing what Juan was talking about hits close to home. I too got to see those childrens faces light up as i gave the boxes out!!! What an experience! This week i'm giving a challenge to our youth group to make more boxes then the rest of the congergation of our church!
Awsome Video!! I was just making some plans for a kick off party for the shoebox drive in our area and I was so excited to see familiar towns in your video! I can't wait to show this to some people! Also, my brother- in-law used to teach at Prairie Bible Inst. back in the 1990's! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

I can't believe your aunt left you, she's nothing without you. But I'm getting carried away, you have a better family now!
