Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a ministry of Samaritan's Purse that aims to spread the love and gospel of Christ through the simple act of giving Christmas gifts every year to children living in poverty, in over 100 different countries. This ministry began in 1990 when two people, Dave and Jill Cooke, were inspired to spread joy and love during Christmas after seeing a report on orphans in Romania. Today, thousands of churches and individuals fill shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and more to be delivered to children all over the world for Christmas. It is a simple way to help those in need around the world and to spread the joy and message of Christ during the Christmas season.
We are hosting a Project Leader Workshop on Wednesday, September 27th from 10AM-12PM. This workshop is for anyone interested in learning more about Operation Christmas Child, how the ministry works, and the many ways you can serve with this team. Whether you've packed a shoebox before or are new to OCC, this is a great opportunity to connect, ask questions, and find out how you can be part of bringing joy to children around the world.
