Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is an annual endeavour by Samaritan’s Purse to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need across the globe. Each Christmas season, gift boxes are filled with simple provisions and toy items, by people like you, then distributed to countries around the world! The best part about this project is that each child receiving a gift also hears the Good News of the gospel of Jesus Christ and has the opportunity to accept Him as their Lord and Savior!
Kick-off Sunday at Harborside is October 10th!
