Laura and Duncan rolled up their sleeves and hit the Samaritan’s Purse headquarters this morning, for a breakfast broadcast with a difference: filling shoeboxes with Christmas gifts. The broadcast was part of Operation Christmas Child, an annual initiative in which Australians pack shoeboxes of small Christmas gifts for children in developing nations around the world.
