Veronica's story shows how one shoebox can impact many, many lives.
A child receives only one shoebox during their lifetime. Before they open the box, they are given a book and are told the gospel. They attend a 12-week bible study and upon graduation, receive a bible in their own language. After receiving her box, Veronica wanted to do something to make a difference, so at 13 years old, she started a soup kitchen and, using the materials she was taught with, shared what she had learned with the 270 children she met. So, in this amazing instance,
1 box = 271 people reached
We don't know how many of those children then shared the gospel with their family, friends, people they met over the course of their life, but I am confident than it multiplied exponentially.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights
with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
James 1:17 ESV
