CarePacks - Give the gift of a smile
 Can a simple gift of school supplies make an eternal impact around the world? When it is a CarePack, the answer is yes! Whereas items like pencils, pens, crayons, and pads of paper are standard issue in schools across North America, millions of orphans in Africa, Central Asia, Latin America and other parts of the world have no access to basic items like these. Supplies are scarce and shared among entire schools, and what teachers don’t have they simply do without.
Yet these items, packaged together with gifts and a letter from the family who sent the CarePack demonstrates and expresses to the child who receives it that God loves him or her individually. For children that have been shuffled through orphanage institutions, these personal gifts make a tremendous impact. In addition, creating a CarePack can become a family affair, teaching children the value of sharing the gospel.
By providing these basic items to needy orphans and children overseas, your family won’t be merely sending pencils and paper – you’ll be sending hope and the love of God! From a thank-you letter sent by an orphan girl outside of Moscow, Russia:
“I still remember the excitement I had when I got this special box from you. Everybody got a special gift from America. You have no idea how excited I was. You are a wonderful girl with a big, generous heart. I just wanted to thank you for caring and taking a part in my life. God loves you, too! And I am glad that He uses people to reach those without hope.”
God does use people to reach those without hope. By sending CarePacks or giving toward the purchase of a simple CarePack overseas, you can help your family be a witness to Jesus! Won’t you give today?
