Operation Christmas Child

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.

Samaritan’s Purse has collected shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. Since 1993, more than 232 million children have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.

We have a group at St. Paul who meet twice a month to work on these items. Every month there is an “Item of the Month” where you can drop of in the collection bin at both campuses. This month is pencil cap erasers. They have also placed some “starter boxes’ on the table in the East Campus Foyer. They contain items to get you started in packing a box. 

They meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the East Campus.
