OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
2023
“Through the Greatest Journey, children are invited to trust Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and they learn how to prayerfully share the Gospel with family and friend” Franklin Graham
Prayer is key to the work of Operation Christmas Child. May we as a family, a body of Christ, pray about this ministry and decide on a monthly budget to give/shop for the shoeboxes. May we take this opportunity to teach our children about giving and most importantly about sharing the word of Jesus.
This year goal is 210 boxes!! The boxes are divided into age groups.
