International Christmas Celebration December 1, 2018

Each year International Ministries collects items for seafarers and other internationals in need. We also plan to give each seafarer a new wallet with a $10 Walmart gift card inside. It is through these gifts that we have the opportunity to express God’s love to those needing these items. Many parts of our world do not recognize Christ as the real reason for Christmas and we want to make sure internationals see this. 

Please bring these items to the MBA office by November 21, 2018:

• Men’s Wallets

• $10 Walmart Gift Cards

• Crew Neck White T-Shirts (Med., Large and XL sizes only)

• White Tube Socks (Med. and Large only)

• Shampoo

• Conditioner

• Shaving Cream

• Toothpaste

• Chewing Gum

• Regular Coffee

• Individually Wrapped Hard Candy

• Cheese Crackers (No peanut butter crackers)

• Gallon sized zip lock bags
