Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children ...
in desperate situations around the world through
gift-filled shoe boxes and Christian literature. This program provides an
opportunity for individuals of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on
missions project that reaches out to suffering children while focusing on
the true meaning of Christmas–Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. In 2011,
over 6 million shoe boxes were collected worldwide and distributed to
children in more than 95 countries.
