Project Joy is a unique Christmas ministry that invites individuals of all ages to give gift-filled shoeboxes to poor children in Mexico. We invite you to join us by providing shoebox gifts to the children of Mexico.

This project makes for a great Sunday school, church or family project!

In Mexico, poor children may not receive any gifts at Christmas. These shoebox gifts are evidence that someone cares for him or her.  Since it's likely the only gift a child may receive, it is special to him/her and greatly appreciated.  The children’s parents are also grateful for your generosity and touched by the gift.

The gifts are presented to the children during a Christmas program in their village.  This creates a warm environment for the Gospel to be heard and understood. Children (and parents) are told that God loves and cares about them, and like their gifts, He too, offers a gift...the gift of eternal life.

Would you like to help bring joy to the children of Mexico? Individuals of all ages are invited to participate by giving gifts.  You may ship the gifts to us for distribution through a local church in Mexico.  Or, you may form a group to come and present the gifts and share the gospel.  You will witness first hand the changing of lives.

If you would like to participate in YUGO’s Project Joy Program, you may download the Project Joy Specifications.  You can also request a Starter Kit, which includes a DVD for your church as well as sign up forms, gift labels and the Project Joy Specifications.
