DONATE TO OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

2023 Results

Thank you to our amazing church family for the donations of filled shoeboxes, items for the packing party, monetary donations, and for the many volunteers. Our church collected 585 shoeboxes and many surronding churches brought filled shoeboxes to our collection center. The final tally for the amount of shoeboxes we sent to Bloomington - their next stop - was 2,695.

 

That means that 2,695 children and their families will feel the love of Jesus and hear the Good News!

Sharing the love of Jesus to children around the world

The power of a simple shoebox gift- it changes lives!

The Mission

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.

 

Let the children come to Me, do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Mark 10:14 (ESV)
