Something as ordinary as a shoebox can accomplish the eternal when it is packed with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and God’s love. Powered by prayers, it can help lead children and families to faith in Christ, inspire pastors, plant and grow churches, and encourage disciples in some of the most unreached places in the world.
Be a part of changing children's lives all over the world in Jesus' Name through the power of a simple gift with Operation Christmas Child. Prayerfully consider packing one or more shoeboxes to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to children around the world. And be sure to bring your shoeboxes to church by November 15th.
Build a Shoebox Online
Shoeboxes built online are more likely to be sent to those children in hard to reach areas. Not only is it easier for people to build a shoebox, but more importantly, children are being reached when they otherwise would not be. More information can be found by clicking HERE.
