Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child begins October 8th!
What is Operation Christmas Child?
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoe boxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. These simple gifts, packed with love, deliver hope and joy to children around the world, regardless of their faith or religious background.
