Operation Christmas Time ... Creating Gospel Opportunities One Shoebox at a Time
South Park Church is entering our third year of a wonderful partnership with Operation Christmas Child. It has been a joy to join together as a congregation and with our neighboring churches and community to help bring joy and hope to children in need all around the world. Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritan's, a Christian relief and evangelism organization led by Franklin Graham. Each year, volunteers collect shoeboxes and fill them with toys, school supplies and toiletries. Operation Christmas Child adds the most important piece, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, into each shoebox and delivers them to needy children world-wide. Last year over 8 million shoeboxes were collected and delivered. Since 1993, millions of shoeboxes have brought smiles, laughter and most importantly, hope, to children living in war-torn cities and villages, and those ravaged by poverty and disease.
Operation Christmas Child's mission is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We hope you'll join us in this important ministry this year.
