Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child collects items throughout the year. As we enter the fall, the items are packaged into shoeboxes and sent to children around the world to show God’s love.  Over the years that this ministry has existed under Samaritan’s Purse efforts have continued to increase in sharing God’s love.  Each shoebox has materials for the kids to teach them the Good News of Jesus, they have the opportunity to attend classes, much like Vacation Bible School here, that teaches them this in personal, culturally relevant ways.  It is exciting to read the stories of how these shoeboxes are impacting the lives of children, even as they become adults as we got to hear from Azima in April here at Life Bridge.  Let’s keep the stories going…

Here is what is currently happening:
