Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has provided an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift to more than 220 million children in over 170 countries and territories. Shoebox gifts open doors for the Gospel around the world, providing an opportunity for local believers to tell the boys and girls about God’s Greatest Gift, Jesus Christ. A Gospel booklet written in the child’s native language is also included with each shoebox.
You too can send Good News and great joy by packing your own shoebox for a child across the world!
On Sunday, October 27 we will kick off EP’s participation in Operation Christmas Child. Anyone can help by picking up an empty shoebox in the lobby and taking it home and filling it with fun toys, school supplies, personal care items, and a “wow” item, such as a doll or soccer ball.
EP will host a Collection Day on Sunday, November 17! Contact Laurie Nelson at [email protected] for more information.
