On Sunday, September 25 there will be a Full Circle speaker coming through our area and we are blessed to be able to host this speaker.  This is a great opportunity for you to share more about Operation Christmas Child and the impact of a simple gift.

Sunday, September 25 at 6:30 pm - Cornerstone Church, 3600 S Banker, Effingham

A Full Circle speaker is someone who received a shoebox gift as a child who now, as an adult, is traveling and sharing their story and how their shoebox gift changed their lives. This is a wonderful opportunity for our area! 

Here is a little teaser.

For ten years of her life, Livia Young lived in a Romanian orphanage among unloving fellow orphans and caregivers.  She vividly remembers the change that came into her life at 12 years old through a simple shoebox gift.  Among the much-needed hygiene items, Livia was ecstatic that there was a pack of hair clips she had wanted for as long as she could remember.  In her shoebox was also a friendship necklace.  Livia shared half of her necklace with a volunteer and new friend, Connie Satterfield, who had traveled from the United States to Romania for a mission trip and handed Livia her shoebox gift.  Two years later, Connie and her husband adopted Livia.  In 2010, she traveled back to Romania to share the love of Jesus with children in Romanian orphanages and poor villages through a shoebox.  To hear more about God’s faithfulness in her life, please join us for a special time of Livia sharing her testimony.

This will not be a late evening. Livia and her family will have a very long day and they are ending in Effingham because we offer many hotels and places to eat.  Hoping you will be able to spend some time with us.
