This year, our church provided you with the unique opportunity to share Christ with a needy child using a simple shoe box. We soared past our goal, with just under 200 shoe boxes filling the hallway, each of which will reach a child in a troubled country like Uganda or El Salvador with the Gospel message.”

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian ministry led by Franklin Graham, the son of Dr. Billy Graham. People across the country are filling shoe boxes with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and other meaningful gifts.

This Christmas season, a needy child overseas will receive our shoe boxes, along with Christian literature in his or her own language. What an opportunity to reach these children with a clear presentation of the Gospel!

Thanks to ALL those families who were a part of this exciting opportunity to share God’s love with a hurting child.
