On Saturday, November 12, Faith Church held a packing party to support Operation Christmas Child. Children and parents had a fun time packing shoe boxes filled with gifts and goodies that will be sent to less fortunate children this Christmas. It was a powerful reminder of how much we are all blessed with and how much we have to be thankful for. Our prayer is that this small gift will make a world of difference in the lives of the children who will be receiving them, and that the gospel of God’s love will touch their hearts with good news. 

As shoebox gifts are distributed, local pastors or church leaders present the Gospel in a fun way designed for kids while family and friends listen in. Along with their shoebox gift, children also receive The Greatest Gift, a colorful presentation of the Gospel in their own language.

 

Their shoebox is the first gift many children have ever received! The treasures and personal letters inside communicate that someone cares for them and give them an opportunity to experience the love of God.
