Our church has participated in Operation Christmas Child for over a decade. It’s organized through Samaritan’s Purse Intl and benefits impoverished children globally, including the USA. Members of the congregation fill the shoeboxes with little gifts, and the shoeboxes are processed through a warehouse in Denver for international distribution. The program helps introduce the gospel to children who might have never heard of Jesus, which subsequently multiplies believers, churches and the kingdom of Christ.
