Operation Christmas Child
Sharing the Gospel message is at the heart of Operation Christmas Child. We are deeply grateful for your faithful prayers and enthusiastic participation over the years. Millions of shoe box gifts are collected each holiday season, with the United States contributing over 5 just last year alone!!! Because of people like you, boys and girls around the world will have the opportunity to hear the Good News of God’s greatest gift, Jesus Christ!
Operation Christmas Child is unique. The gift does not stop with the shoe box itself. Children are introduced to Jesus through colorful Gospel booklets handed out during the distributions. Local churches invite them to a follow-up discipleship program that includes a series of engaging Bible lessons. Graduates receive a New Testament to encourage them to learn more about the Savior. As they grow in their faith, these same children become witnesses of God’s love in their communities.
