Operation Christmas Child gives you the opportunity to share the Gospel with children around the world through a Christmas Shoebox.

You can drop off your boxes during the weekend services of November 4 & 5 and November 11 & 12.

Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a project of Samartian's Purse, an international relief organization.  Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes 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.  We ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.

Local believers in more than 100 countries deliver Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts to children in need, present the Gospel and facilitate a follow-up discipleship program.  With this approach, local Christians who know the culture and language best are given effective resources with a solid biblical foundation to share the Gospel in their communities.  OCC equips ministry partners - local pastors or church leaders - to be their volunteer representatives by providing thorough, detailed training for them to be able to facilitate a shoebox outreach event and present the Gospel.

These shoeboxes travel around the world and make a massive impact on the kids and villages who receive them. We can't wait to see what God does during this holiday season!

We are also a Distribution Center & Central Dop Off location! We need volunteers to help make this a success - take a look at the available volunteer positions and sign up to help!
