Operation
Christmas Child
Operation
Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations
around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News
of God’s love. This program of Samaritan’s Purse provides
an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple,
hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of
Christmas—Jesus Christ, God’s greatest gift. Along with
shoe box gifts, millions of children are given Gospel booklets in
their own language. In 2004, over 7.4 million shoe boxes were collected
worldwide and distributed them to children in about 95 countries.
The goal for 2005 is 7.8 million.
KFBC
takes a very active part in OCC and acts as a central drop-off location
for shoeboxes from other churches.
Our
church will be receiving shoeboxes on the following dates at Ellison
