Be a part of what God is going to do -- using a simple shoebox to reach hearts and change lives! After you fill an Operation Christmas Child shoebox with small gifts, hygiene items or school supplies, it is shipped overseas to bless children in need in some of the hardest to reach areas of the world. After receiving shoebox gifts, many children are invited back to participate in a discipleship program, The Greatest Journey. More than 14.9 million children have made a decision to accept Jesus as their Savior during The Greatest Journey course. Pick-up a shoebox in the lower Atrium starting Oct. 30 and return it by Nov. 20. We encourage you to involve the whole family in selecting items for your shoebox, then praying over it as a family before returning it. Pray for the child and family who will be blessed by this gift, and that they would discover the love and hope of Jesus.
