Operation Christmas Child is a ministry through Samaritan’s Purse. It starts with filling shoeboxes with fun toys, school supplies, hygiene items, etc. for children in need around the world ages 2-14. The children not only receive the exciting contents of their box but they are also given the opportunity to participate in a follow-up discipleship program called The Greatest Journey. As a result of what they learn, boys and girls grow in Christ and share with friends and family. This often brings parents, siblings, and friends to accept Christ and become active members of the local church. Families are reached, churches grow, new churches are started, and communities are transformed—and it all starts with your shoebox packed with love!
Stop by the Operation Christmas Child displays in the lobbies of both the Gresham & Sandy campuses for more information and to grab an empty shoebox to fill. Filled boxes can be returned to the display tables through November 12.
