OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
I will make you a light for the nations, that my Salvation may reach the end of the earth. Isaiah 49:6
God is using shoebox gifts to transform communities around the world!
Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the the world through gift filled shoeboxes. Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. Delivered by our local church partners, shoebox gifts provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child friendly way.
We're taking the Good News to the Ends of the Earth - and doing it through a shoebox!

2. Joe and Pam can help you properly identify the box for a boy or a girl and which age group the box is intended for.
3. Select a medium to large "wow" item such as a soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal, then fill with other fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items. Don't forget to also include a personal note and photo—sometimes these are the child's favorite things to receive!
4. Most importantly, "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17) for the child who will receive your shoebox gift.
5. Bring your $10.00 donation for the evangelism materials that will be added to your box.
(Joe and Pam can help provide easy instructions)
6. Bring your filled shoeboxes back to our church, and we will handle the rest.
