Watch the heartwarming story of a lonely little girl living in an orphanage, who receives an adventurous stuffed lion in an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. The gift and a child’s letter enclosed in the box help Lola experience God’s love, realising that she is never alone.

We believe Lola’s uplifting story—which is perfect family viewing—will inspire you as you see the impact of a simple shoebox gift this season.

We encourage you to watch the film and tell your family and friends—and your church—about it. Why not share it on your social media pages, too?

If you have packed a shoebox this year, on behalf of a child like Lola, thank you so much. If you haven’t been able to yet don’t worry there’s still time…

For England

You can still pick and pack a box yourself and drop it off at a location near you, between 5-14 December.
