ETERNAL GIFTS OF LOVE

A small shoebox can have a big impact. 

What goes into the box is fun, but what comes out  . . . is eternal.  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.

Every year, Operation Christmas Child delivers millions of shoebox gifts to children around the world.  Shining the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to children affected by war, poverty,

disease and natural disaster.  Shoebox gifts are fueled by the power of prayer, bringing Good News and Great Joy to the ends of the earth!
