Have you started packing your Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes yet? Each gift-filled shoebox is so much more than a box of toys and treasures. It is an opportunity for a boy or girl to hear the life-changing message of God’s love and the hope found in Jesus Christ!

And the impact doesn’t stop when the shoebox is opened! Many children go on to participate in The Greatest Journey, a 12-lesson discipleship program that teaches them what it means to follow Jesus in their everyday lives and share His love with their friends and families.

Just imagine… one simple shoebox, packed with love and prayer, can help change a child’s life for all eternity. Entire communities have been transformed through this ministry!

National Collection Week is November 16–23 (Monday–Monday)!

Now is the perfect time to start shopping, packing, and praying over your shoebox gifts!

Bring your completed shoeboxes to Shady Grove during collection week!

Let’s come together, fill those boxes, and share the greatest gift of all — THE LOVE OF JESUS!
