SAMARITAN’S PURSE OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD THIS YEAR WE ARE REMEMBERING RENEE HOWARD. Your donations are critical for Operation Christmas Child shoebox collecting, processing, and shipping, as well as ministry partner training and Gospel materials. GOOD NEWS. GREAT JOY. Build a Shoebox online or come out and join us while we pack boxes together while enjoying a meal of hot dogs, chips, drinks, and a cookie!! If you can’t come, we will graciously accept any monetary donations to help offset the cost of postage. The Amazing Journey of a Simple Shoebox Gift begins with You and Results in Evangelism, Discipleship, and Multiplication. Long before shoeboxes arrive in more than 100 countries, volunteers, pastors, and community leaders share the message of the Gospel and bless children. The leaders learn how to host child-friendly outreach events, and how to implement The Greatest Journey follow-up discipleship program. Shoebox gifts are collected in Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, has collected and delivered more than 198 million shoeboxes in more than 170 countries and territories.

PLEASE PUT A SMILE ON A CHILD’S FACE THIS CHRISTMAS!
