Operation Christmas Child

Delivering Great Joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ

“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Luke 2:10, ESV

Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has provided an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift to more than 244 million children in over 175 countries and territories. Ministry partners in these regions hold child-friendly, Gospel-focused outreach events where the boxes will be distributed to the children as an expression of the love of God through His people.  Afterward, many of the boys and girls are invited to attend The Greatest Journey discipleship program. Through 12 Bible lessons, children learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. They tell friends and family what they are learning, and more people put their faith in Christ—and then they go and tell other family and friends so that the family of God continues to multiply. 

Join us in putting together these special gift filled boxes that will be used to present the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will be collecting boxes from September 20th - November 8th. Click the button below that will tell you what gifts will tickle the hearts of these beloved children and what gifts to avoid for the children being reached by these boxes.
