Operation Christmas Child Update

3/13/2023

 
We recently received an update from Samaritan's Purse regarding 2022's Operation Christmas Child.

God did incredible things through Operation Christmas Child this past year. Over 9.3 million shoebox gifts were collected in the U.S. during National Collection Week—the most ever! The worldwide total was over 10.5 million boxes, which included the 200 millionth shoebox packed since the project began in 1993. That special gift was lovingly placed in the hands of an 8-year-old orphan girl in Ukraine. This remarkable year wouldn't have been possible without partners like you who packed the shoeboxes. Thank you for your generosity, faithfulness, and especially for your prayers.

Some highlights from 2022 included the Gospel being presented through shoebox gifts to the unreached Himba people, to deaf children in Namibia, and to boys and girls in Suriname where teens are sharing the Good News with their peers and teaching The Greatest Journey. We encourage you to share these amazing stories with your church or group. To God be the glory!

You can start packing your shoebox for 2023 at any time! For more information, visit their website.

Forty-four children learned about Jesus' love for them and then shared that love with other children when they made and collected items for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes at VBS - Christmas in July.  Fifty boxes were packed and additional donated supplies are available for others to use when they pack their boxes.  There were 35 helpers each night....thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time to make this program a success!  Pray for the seeds that were planted in those young lives!

2021 Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes

8/29/2021

 
Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Season is here! School days are here and fall is just around the corner so it's time to think Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes again! The boxes are here (available in the back narthex). The "How to Pack a Shoe Box" brochures and labels are on the way and school supplies are on sale! So let's start to think about filling some boxes for children around the world who need hope more than ever, and shoeboxes open the door to their greatest need - Jesus as their Savior!  Let's see what we can do this year. For questions and more information, call Ruth Ann & Dave.
