Time to Drop Off Your Shoeboxes!
/National Collection Week (Nov. 15-21) is here! It’s time to send your shoebox gifts on a journey to reach boys and girls—and entire communities—around the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Hundreds of drop-off locations are now open across the country—find one near you!
Recently in Burkina Faso, shoeboxes were given out in a so-called “no-go zone for the Gospel,” an area known to be hostile to Christianity. But local parents were delighted when gifts were given to their children and they experienced God’s love in a tangible way. When the Gospel was presented, many of the children, along with their parents, prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and a new church was started. “Through Operation Christmas Child, God visited the village,” a shoebox volunteer said. “This no-go zone is now a go zone for the Gospel!”
If you haven’t already packed Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, it’s not too late! Check out our gift suggestions and find the nearest drop-off location where you can take your boxes.
Above all, please pray for the children who will receive your gifts that their hearts would be open to the Gospel and they would realize how much God loves them.
Finally, check out other Ways to Give online—including donating $10 per shoebox to cover the cost of processing, shipping, and Gospel materials—that support what God is doing through Operation Christmas Child.
Declare His glory among the nations!
