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.

Since 1993, more than 220 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. The project delivers not only the joy of what , for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God's love.

How can you help? By picking up a shoebox, filling it with a variety of things a child would like and bringing it back to the church.

Compete instructions are located in the vestibules.

Bring your boxes by Sunday November 17th.
