Operation Christmas Child

spreading the love of God in a tangible way

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

Samaritan's Purpose partners with churches around the globe through Operation Christmas Child to share the good news of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations. Through their shoebox ministry project, over 209 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have experienced the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God's love. We at Faith Church continue to partner with this missions project to uplift its impact to more and more children around the world.

WE ARE! READY TO CHANGE CHILDREN’S LIVES!

GET YOUR BOXES AND FILL 'EM UP!

WE ARE! READY TO CHANGE CHILDREN’S LIVES! The Faith OCC Team is excited for this year’s Operation Christmas Child shoebox mission! Help spread the love of Jesus to children around the world in 3 ways:


  1. Take shoeboxes (or use your own average size shoebox) and pack them full of toys, school supplies, hygiene items and more! Return them to church by Sunday, November 24
  2. Build a shoebox online through Faith Church’s Shoebox Goal Page: These specially designed boxes are sent to children in the hardest-to-reach areas; areas that are often very resistant to the Gospel. https://sampur.se/4gKkpoi
  3. Donate money to the Faith OCC Team who will pack and ship shoeboxes and send Greatest Journey discipleship opportunities on your behalf. Last year, the Faith OCC Team packed over 270 boxes and sent over 600 Greatest Journey opportunities. Simply indicate “Operation Christmas Child” with your or donation, or online by selecting “Operation Christmas Child” on Faith Church’s giving portal.


Shoeboxes are available after service for pick-up, or you can use a shoebox that you have at home (please use average sized shoeboxes). Shoeboxes are due back by Sunday, November 24!
