Each year we participate in Operation Christmas Child (a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse). As the holiday season approaches, we will pack shoe-boxes full of gift items meant to bless children around the world! Moreover, each shoe-box will contain a simple, age-appropriate gospel presentation.
If you would like to participate in this annual outreach (i.e., if you would like to pack some shoe-boxes yourself), feel free to check out the following link. It will provide an overview of what/what not to pack as well as more info on this ministry:
