THIS MONTH'S IMPACT
In this month’s Faithbox, you’ll find items to help you plan the year ahead, focus on the real reason for the holiday season, and remember the truth about the power in Jesus’ Name. We hope that each product in our Wonder box brings you comfort and peace throughout the Christmas season as you rest in God’s great plans for your future, and the love He has for us that He sent His Son to this world as a baby to save us. Amid the busiest time of year, it’s our prayer that you find time to rest in the joyous moments and sit in awe and wonder of His goodness!
WONDER
Hey Faithbox Family,
Welcome to this month’s Everyday Faith! As we dive in to this month’s theme of Wonder, we want to invite you to walk down memory lane and revisit your childhood.
While everyone’s childhood is different, one thing we likely all had in common as children is our imagination. You probably loved to create different scenarios with your toys, act out various games with your friends, and dream of the unlimited adventures.
….So, what happened? When did you stop dreaming? What caused you to stop imagining? Why did you lose your wonder?
To wonder is to be curious or amazed. It’s to marvel at or admire. It’s to live wide awake realizing that the future is open and there are no limits on what could be.
As we journey forward together this month, we want to invite you to rediscover that childlike wonder you once had. There are many different avenues you can take to restore your wonder—through prayer, worship, pondering on God’s goodness, recalling times He showed up for you, reflecting on His creation, or simply just sitting silently in His presence.
Our hope is that this month helps take you back to the childlike wonder you once had and remind you of God’s sovereignty so you continue standing in awe of who He is.
We’re all in this together,
The Faithbox Team

Custom Nativity Metal Art by Vi Bella
Décor with a purpose.
The Vi Bella metal nativity art is made by hand in Croix-des-Bouquets, a small village outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. For years, the Haitian people have made beautiful art out of steel oil drums, turning waste into something beautiful with just a hammer and a chisel.
Vi Bella was started in 2011, shortly after our Founder, Julie Hulstein, traveled to Haiti for the first time to help with relief efforts after a large earthquake devastated much of Port-au-Prince and the surrounding area. She saw many wonderful NGOs providing immediate assistance but saw a greater need for long term, steady employment. She learned that over 80% of the children in Haitian orphanages had at least one living parent who was simply financially unable to provide for the child’s basic needs. If these parents were only able to make a consistent income, they could provide for their children and lead their families out of generational poverty. Vi Bella was born out of Julie’s desire to keep families together and provide safe and encouraging job opportunities in a Christ-centered environment.
Faithbox’s order of the metal nativity art in this month’s box is making a huge impact on Jhonson and his team of 8 artisans in Haiti, and has provided two months worth of work to these 9 artisans! The village where they all live and work, Croix-des-Bouquets, has been under heavy attack by gangs vying for control of the area. Due to all the unrest in Haiti, there is also extreme inflation on food and gasoline that is causing communities to starve. This order helps Jhonson and his team to survive at a time when it seems the odds are stacked against them.
Just for Faithbox subscribers, ViBella is offering $20 off of a $50 purchase by using the code: Faithbox20off50
“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe...”

Names of Jesus Bookmark by Swanson Direct
A reminder of Jesus’ power.
Picking the perfect bookmark is a fun and creative experience for bookworms and Bible readers. Swanson’s Names of Jesus bookmark has a gorgeous full-color design listing many of Jesus’ names in a bold, colorful block pattern. It has a glossy coating and features Luke 4:18 on the back: Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord the Eternal One is on Me. Why? Because the Eternal designated Me to be His representative to the poor, to preach good news to them. He sent Me to tell those who are held captive that they can now be set free, and to tell the blind that they can now see. He sent Me to liberate those held down by oppression.”
This inspiring bookmark will help you keep your place and remember the truth of who Jesus is!
Swanson Christian Products (SCP) was founded by Clifford Swanson in 1935 when he felt inspired by God to create wall hangings and gifts displaying the truths of scripture to remind people of God’s blessings and love. Since then, SCP has created gifts of eternal value. Over the years, Swanson’s has funded a small inner city church in Middle Tennessee, paid for the publishing of tens of thousands of Bibles in China, Ukraine and the USA, sent truckloads of gifts to Operation Christmas Child and provided products for 1000’s of Christian stores and denominational headquarters in an effort to make the Lord’s name known.
“By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life.”
Custom Watercolor Art Designs for Wonder
Art for your home, office, or friend.
This month’s Madeline’s art card is a representation of the overwhelming joy, awe, and amazement that we feel when we recognize God’s power. When we stand in awe of His wonder, we can fully appreciate the beauty and blessings He has gifted us with in our lives. We hope this card is a reminder of all the incredible plans He has for you!
Madeline is a hand-lettering and watercolor artist from Saint Louis, Missouri. She combines her love for art with her Christian faith to create beautiful art with meaning and purpose. As a teenager, Madeline started her company, Inspired Inks, with the intention of using her art as a means to uplift others with encouragement while supporting various organizations who are fighting for justice, supporting law enforcement, strengthening families, and, most importantly, sharing the Gospel!
This month’s Faithbox includes two 5”x7” cards hand-drawn and designed to encourage you throughout this month’s theme. You can display them on your desk, refrigerator, or place them in your favorite picture frame for a more decorative look.
“When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?”
Spiritual Inventory
Our Spiritual Inventory Card is intended to help you get the most out of your faith by being able to track how you’re growing and where you’re going. As you start the new month, take time to reflect on each area and identify where you are doing well and where you can commit a little more focus.
Time with God: More than anything, a relationship with God is exactly that: a relationship. This area focuses on the ways you connect with God. It can include things like prayer, scripture reading, meditation, and reflection.
Relationships: You have been placed in the lives of others to make a difference! Take time each month to consider who God has placed in your life, how those relationships are developing, and what your role is to make a positive impact in their lives.
Generosity: Generosity is at the heart of who God is and all that He does. This area is about the opportunities you have to make a positive impact financially. No matter how large or small, giving financially to an organization or person in need makes an impact.
Serving: A life that’s moving forward is a life that is concerned with the needs of others. In this area of focus, consider where or how you can get involved to serve others in your life, your church, and your community.
“The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.”
