Special Episode: Operation Christmas Child
In this special episode of the podcast (featuring YM Hacks hosts from the DYM Podcast Network) Justin and Matthew sat down some some of our friends at Samaritan's Purse who run Operation Christmas Child to talk about how youth groups can have an easy way to serve those around the world without leaving their church. We are always looking for great ways to help students realize there is more outside themselves and this is a great way to do that.
