Missions Monday: An Easy Way to Send HOPE to Needy Families!
What if I told you could can help send Operation Christmas Love boxes to needy families across Eastern Europe and it wouldn't cost you anything? You can by using the affiliate links for Amazon and Booking.com on this blog!
With Operation Christmas Love, we are given the opportunity to share Christ's love in a very practical way. It's not just a food parcel- it really is a box of hope for families living a hand to mouth existence. I would love to be able to fund 10 parcels from this blog. That is about $400. That's where YOU come in.
Booking.com
If you are traveling this holiday season would you consider using my Booking.com affiliate link to search for a hotel? Any hotel purchase will generate a small commission which will go to this goal of 10 Operation Christmas Love parcels.
And if you are purchasing gifts online, would you consider using my Amazon affiliate links?
A couple of years ago, we were able to raise $382 for families in Romania using these affiliate links. $400 is really achievable! Just use the links and I will keep a tally and forward the money. If you would like to give directly you can easily on Facebook, call 800-245-9191, or mail your tax deductible gift (of any amount) to

Share Hope This Christmas. Operation Christmas Love 2018
Today was a special day. Not that I did anything special. Pretty much slept most of the day ignoring the fact that I need to do laundry.
Today I received the letter from Mission Without Borders for Operation Christmas Love! What is Operation Christmas Love? Christmas Love is a massive undertaking to send 30,000 food parcels to the neediest families in Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine. Mission Without Borders helps families year round move toward self sufficiency- over 1900 families sponsored last year!- but Christmas Love also helps ease the burden of poverty during this special time of year.
Each parcel contains "a selection of rice, pasta, canned vegetables, biscuit mix, soup mix, cooking oil, condensed milk" as well as jam and sweets for the children. Where there is a special need, blankets and warm clothes may also be provided.
When I visited Albania last year, I heard that Christmas Love parcels had been distributed to needy families at a Christmas party held by a local church. So the families also heard the true story of Christmas at a local evangelical church.
I also saw Christmas Love parcels in the homes of some people we visited in the outskirts of Durres.
Each parcel costs about $40 and the goal is to pack and distribute 30,000 parcels. Donations can be made at the Mission Without Borders Facebook page or the US affiliates web page. The US affiliate uses Paypal for donations on a safe, secure network.

Family Sponsorship- meeting urgent needs in Bosnia.
I was VERY lazy today. It was cold outside but incredibly warm and cozy in my bed so I slept later than usual- and other than a few dishes accomplished NOTHING today. Tomorrow will be different. The reason I tell you this is that while reading this story tonight, I was reminded how blessed I am to have a warm, safe place to be lazy in. I will try not to complain about my drafty front door after reading this!
The J family lives in Bosnia. Mission Without Borders works with over 100 desperately needy families through the family to family sponsorship program in Bosnia. This particular family in Mostar receives the monthly parcels and visits but the coordinator heard of a pressing need. Two north facing windows in their rented house were broken and beyond repair. This was in September. As fall and winter approached, these broken windows would leave the house vulnerable to snow, extreme cold, and wind.
The coordinator was able to secure new windows and install them with the help of the family. The young children were watching and curious about what this would mean. The mother explained that this man brought new windows so now the family would not have to be afraid of wind, rain, or snow. But who paid for the windows, the child asked. She answered "There are good people somewhere abroad, who think about us and care for us and who want us to be warm and safe during the winter".
Being able to care for families like this all depends on having generous people giving a little each month to Mission Without Borders. You can co-sponsor a family for just $25 a month and help them take the steps toward self sufficiency and dignity. I love hearing from my family in Moldova. I would love to be able to visit someday!
