Come and hear the story about how Devan Rachae’s fabric-covered shoebox full of items interrupted the life of poverty he knew in Grenada at age 12. As one of four siblings with a single mother, Devon experienced God's love through the gift in a way that led him to accept Jesus Christ and become involved in children's ministry. As his church served their community, Devon became a household name on the island, paving the way for him to become the parliament's youngest senator at age
22.
God later led him specifically to "seek first the kingdom of God" (Matthew 6:33) by giving up his government role, and today he serves as a pastor of two churches. Over the years, Devon has held several international roles with Operation Christmas Child, including his current role as Regional Coordinator for the Caribbean and Pacific Islands.
