Operation Christmas Child

Please join us in this simple mission by filling a shoe box with gifts for needy children around the world. Pick up your shoe box in the Rotunda beginning on Sunday 14 October. Final collection is Sunday, November 18th. ALL boxes MUST be turned in by November 18th to begin the next phase of their journey via truck to the Charlotte, N.C. processing center.


Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Franklin Graham'™s Samaritan'™s Purse. Through Gift-filled shoe boxes Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world. Shoe boxes are filled with:

• Hygiene Items
• School Supplies
• Small Toys or Games
• Hard Candy

Once packed and gift wrapped, boxes are shipped by train, plane, and boat to unreached people groups to spread the love of Jesus, and to bring children and their families to saving faith in Christ. Last year Immanuels Church shipped 1,332 Gospel Opportunity shoe boxes!
Join Immanuel€™s Church this year as we seek to fill and ship 1500 boxes.
