Elena Nicholson was 8 years old when she and her sister were placed into an orphanage in the former Soviet Union. At a time when she was feeling unloved, she was handed an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift. It was the first gift she had ever received.

With the gift, Elena was given a booklet, which seemed like an unbelievable fairy tale. It said the Creator of the universe loved her. She began to pray, hoping for a family for her and her sister.

To hear about God's love in her life, please join us for a special time of Elena sharing her testimony. There will be refreshments, resources, and free preprinted shoeboxes.

Youth - after hearing Elena speak, all youth will separate for a time of food and games. Bring along friends to learn more about the ministry.
