Jamacia David, of Guyana South America, recently shared her testimony in Natchiotches of how a simple shoebox packed with toiletries, school supplies, clothes, shoes, toys and a stuff animal changed her life for eternity. She encouraged everyone to “pack one more box.” David spoke at First Baptist Chuch Aug. 18. National Collection Week is set for Nov. 18-25. For more information, call Brenda Ingram at 471-9415.
