CVC will be involved in Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Project again this year, and you are invited to consider how you can be involved.
Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on way for us to demonstrate God’s love to children in need around the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies and other fun gifts.
Samaritan’s Purse collects the gift-filled shoeboxes, and they are distributed, through local ministry partners, to children in over 100 countries, reaching out to communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
After receiving a shoebox gift, many children have the opportunity to enrol in ‘The Greatest Journey’ – a 12-session discipleship program that guides children through what it means to faithfully follow Jesus Christ.
Showing God’s love and sharing the Good News – win, win!
How can you be involved?
• Prepare a gift-filled shoebox
• Order a shoebox online (Please tell Heather if you do this )
• Donate towards the shipping costs
• Donate towards the Greatest Journey magazine costs
• Help check shoeboxes at the warehouse in November
• Pray for the project and the recipients!
Shoeboxes are available at church, with brochures supplying packing guidelines.
Please bring gift-filled shoeboxes to church on either 18th or 25th October.
