After sharing the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus said “Go and do likewise.” That is the mission of Samaritan’s Purse—to follow the example of Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel.
Operation Christmas Child is an outreach project that each member of our church family can participate in by packing a gift-filled shoebox. Last year, more than 11 million shoeboxes were collected and went to countries, such as, Peru, the Philippines, Rwanda and Ukraine. These children heard about God’s love for them in Jesus Christ.
Please remember to pray for the children who receive a shoebox that their hearts will be opened to the Good News of Jesus Christ. What a joy to know these shoeboxes are tools that provide an opportunity to touch a child’s life for eternity!
NATIONAL COLLECTION WEEK for 2022 begins November 13th – November 21st.

Hear from a 13-year-old in Zambia who received a shoebox:
“I used to think that God was very far away. Now I have come to believe in Jesus as my Savior and I have my own small Bible. Thank you.”
Let us be a part of this beautiful ministry that blesses children around the world!
