2015 Highline Christian Church Men’s Retreat
Out of the seven boxes that were packed by the 1st grade Sunday School families, I have heard where three of the boxes are heading. I would like to give you an update:
On Christmas Eve, I received three e-mails indicating where three of our Operation Christmas Child boxes have gone. One of the boxes is on its way
to Nambia. Nambia is located in southern Africa. It is a country of 2.2 million people and 31% of the country is 14 years old or younger! This box is one of 80,880 boxes that will be sent to children in Nambia.
Another of our boxes is on its way to the Philippines. This box will be received by one of the 687,480 children who will receive an OCC box in the Philippines this
year. Praise God that over 3,770,437 children have received a shoebox since 1998 when Operation Christmas Child began distributing to the Philippines. The Philippines has 100.9 million people and is located in southeast Asia. Thirty-four
percent of the population is 14 years old or younger! The third of our boxes that is already on its way is going to a "hard-to-reach" or
"restricted" area of our world. For the safety of those ministering in these restricted areas, Operation Christmas Child cannot tell us the name of the country where it is being sent. Many children who live in nations that are difficult to reach with the Gospel are able to hear about Jesus Christ through specially packed
shoebox gifts designated for restricted areas. In hard-to-reach areas, these shoeboxes provide a platform for local believers to share Christ in a safe and culturally sensitive way, and allow ease of entry through customs.
Please continue praying for the transportation of these boxes and for the children that will receive these and all the other boxes!
If you have received a notice that your box has been sent to a different country, please let me know so that I can pass on some updated news! Thank you for participating in this year-round endeavor to reach children
with gifts and with the message of Jesus Christ! Love,
Tammie Lindblom

FAMILY MISSION TRIP COMING SPRING BREAK 2017
The family mission trip is an opportunity for parents to bring their children on a cross-cultural mission experience where we will serve God’s Kingdom by building relationships, building homes, singing songs, playing games, and so much more.
If you’re interested in the Family Mission Trip for yourself and for your family, I invite you to sign up and get involved. Though the trip is designed for parents and their children we do also encourage the participation of other adults from the faith family to participate as well to aid in our efforts.
Sign up today and join others from Highline as we go out to share God’s love with the world!
MAKE THIS DIRT ROCK GLOW - WINTER RETREAT 4th-6th Grade Retreat @ Pleasant Valley Christian Camp - FEB 12-15
February 12-15 at camp our special speaker, Jake Schneiderhan, Student Pastor of New Life Christian Fellowship of Petaluma, CA, will be helping us look at some of the “in the dark” stories where Jesus turned the dark into light. Our worship team is working on some great “lights shine bright” worship songs and we have some amazing glow in the dark games planned. Plus, you get to hang out with some of the coolest counselors & leaders around. It’s going to be a great weekend learning about Jesus and how we can glow for Him!
So invite a friend or two, pack your bags, and join us for a 4 day weekend of fun, worship, great music, games, and learning about Jesus! It’s the perfect way to kick off 2016.
