Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has provided an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift to more than 220 million children in over 170 countries and territories. Local ministry partners hand out these tangible expressions of God’s love at child-friendly, Gospel-focused outreach events. Afterward, many of the boys and girls are invited to attend The Greatest Journey discipleship program. Through 12 Bible lessons, children learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. They tell friends and family what they are learning, and more people put their faith in Christ—and go on to tell still others. Through these dynamic evangelism and discipleship efforts, believers and churches are multiplying!
We are once again participating in Operation Christmas Child. Each year we have exceeded our goal. This year our goal is 100 shoeboxes. This has been a highlight of our church's Christmas season for several years now. You can get involved in several ways!
One way is to fill a shoebox and bring it to church. We have a link below that you can use to give you some ideas of what to pack to make it most effective.
A second way you can get involved is to donate items that will be used at our Packing Party on November 17th after service.
A third way is to build a box online. There is a link below for that option.
You can also donate funds to be used for shipping. Shipping is $10 dollars a box.
Finally, you can get involved by praying for those shoeboxes and each of the children and their families that recieve them.
How do YOU want to be involved?
