Bryce Pablo received a shoebox gift as a 4-year-old. Three years later, he accepted Jesus Christ and led his family to follow the Lord as well!
Bryce Pablo is one of more than 6 million children in the Philippines who have received a gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift.
“When I opened my box, I was happy because I saw toy cars, a toothbrush, and some books,” Bryce said.
Struck by this act of generosity, Bryce’s mother encouraged him to go to church to learn more about God.
Bryce accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior when he was 7 years old. He shared the Good News with his parents and brothers, and they, too, made the decision to follow Jesus.
His mother said, “I’m so grateful for the one that packed the shoebox that changed our life.”
