2013 Operation Christmas Child

Children from the Sunday school of Faith Lutheran Church recently supported Operation Christmas Child by collecting 55 gift-filled shoe boxes from the congregation.

The shoe boxes included items such as toys, personal hygiene products, school supplies and evangelism materials.

Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes are distributed to needy children worldwide through Samaritan's Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization.

"Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoe box gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ," according to the organization's website.
