Operation Christmas Child


If you've ever participated in Operation Christmas Child, you know what an incredible experience it is to purchase, pack, and send shoe boxes that contain gifts for little ones in need, and more importantly, share the gospel of Jesus with children all over the world.  This year, Liam, Marin, and Ellery each packed a shoe box, and Liam said a prayer over the completed boxes to "bless the kids in other countries."  Samaritan's Purse does that.



As a family, we intentionally want our Christmas season not to be focused on material things, but rather about capturing and spreading the peace, love, and joy of Jesus Christ. Operation Christmas Child is just one small, simple way of doing that.

  1. Love this...a wonderful way of creating awareness to our children that there is so much poverty and under privileged kids around the world. Such good values can only be inculcated from home.
