Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoe boxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Each year, our church joins with hundreds of other churches across the country to put together shoe box gifts for children around the world. These children are given school supplies, hygiene items, toys and clothes...but most importantly they are given a chance to hear about Jesus Christ and His love for them!
