His first gift ever opened his heart to God’s love.

Growing up in Zimbabwe, Hermann's family was so poor that sometimes he had to beg for food. But at the age of 10, he received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox—his first gift ever! His favorite item inside was a book that he read over and over again. But even more important than this novel, the whole shoebox gift helped open his heart to God’s love. This later prompted Hermann to surrender his life to the Lord Jesus Christ at age 12.
