What Is Operation Christmas Child?
Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes travel to the ends of the earth to bring children great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ.
After they receive their box, the children are then invited to participate in The Greatest Journey discipleship course where they learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others.
This year we are collecting items throughout the year. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see our monthly requested items.
Bless Children Around the World Without Leaving Home
