OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD Every year we send shoeboxes full of goodies to children in underdeveloped countries. Filling a box is a great way to spread joy and show God’s love practically. Each child who recieves a box also hears the Gospel message and has an opportunity for discipleship. Grab a box today and get packing! Boxes will be collected towards the end of September.
