(USA)–And finally, it’s back to school time in the United States and an evangelical ministry is using it to reach the less fortunate. Operation Blessing International’s “Back to School Project” is providing new school clothes and supplies to those in need. It’s all an effort to share the love of Christ through compassionate ministry. In many cases the program, which targets kindergarten through 12th grade students, is run by a local church which allows it to be more effective in outreach.
