Give joy this Christmas!

We are partnering with Samaritan’s Purse again this year to fill shoeboxes for children in need around the world. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world.

Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations. For children around the world, a shoebox is often their very first gift.

It’s all about Jesus! In the process of receiving a box, each child is presented with the gospel 3 different times through the local church in their community.  Because Samaritan’s Purse is delivering boxes year-round, every 24 hours, 30,000 children across the world hear about Jesus for the first time. Each box also affects an average of 7 additional people in that child’s life, including siblings, parents, and friends. Your gift multiplies as it brings entire families into the Kingdom.

Use the link below for ideas on what to pack, such as quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items. If you would like to cover the cost of shipping, you can also include a donation of $10 per box.
