Somewhere in the United States, there is a child bidding farewell to summer and preparing to step into a new school year. She is brimming with anticipation, filled with a fresh supply of imagination and possibilities—much like her new backpack is filled with notebooks, pencils, crayons and erasers that smell like watermelon and bubblegum. Her belly is satisfied with her breakfast of choice, and her new clothes are freshly washed for her first day of school.
She is loved. She is a child of God.
Somewhere else, there is another child watching the seasons change. A new school year is rounding the bend, and he will join his class empty-handed, much like his fellow students. His barefoot journey to school is undertaken with an empty stomach—and an imagination that wonders, “What future could there be?” His clothes are ragged, and there is dust settled on his face, knees and elbows.
He is loved. He is a child of God.
There is need in this world, and by the grace of God, there is generosity and goodness. Healing Hands International (HHI) operates the MAGI program to address these needs with the goal of Making A Godly Impact. MAGI boxes are gifts of basic necessities—educational items, hygiene product, toys and clothing—wrapped in the love of Jesus Christ, the greatest gift ever given to mankind (John 3:16). Delivering joy and hope, MAGI boxes and bags are placed directly into the hands of children who receive them with delight, pure appreciation, and quite often, a birth of curiosity about God and the way He loves us all. As a new chapter begins for your school-aged children, we invite you and your family to join in the HHI mission to aid, equip and empower students worldwide. Start a tradition of packing a MAGI box for a child who may be the same age as your own, or take part in our Sponsor A Box program.
For a $30 donation, HHI volunteers will pack a MAGI box or bag on your behalf, to be prepared in the country in which it will be delivered, complete with blessings that began when the Lord moved in your heart to send love. We draw inspiration from Paul’s encouragement to the Galatians: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” You are the reason we are able to reach into the far corners of the earth to plant the seeds of God’s abundant blessings. Be assured that He is able to do immeasurably more through the MAGI program than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), and know that we are abundantly grateful to welcome you with open arms to the Healing Hands International family. Will you join us?
