Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is BACK at LifeChange in 2024! The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations. Bless a child with some small gifts, and help make a way for them to hear the good news of Jesus!

how to Pack a shoebox

PICK UP an empty shoebox from the lobby. Don’t forget to get a label and a packing list, too.

FILL the shoebox with gifts. What kinds of gifts? Check out these ideas for boys and girls of all ages.

PRAY for the child who will receive your shoebox. Pray for their health, well-being, and that they would respond to the gospel of Jesus!

LABEL your completed shoebox using the label you picked up from the lobby. This ensures that a boy or girl of the correct age gets the right gifts.

ACTIVATE the shipping label. The $10 Activation fee covers the cost of transporting the shoebox. Activate the label by scanning the QR Code on the label and checking out, or visit Samaritan’s Purse to enter your code and checkout.

RETURN your completed shoebox to the LifeChange lobby by Sunday, November 17.

DISCOVER THE DESTINATION of your shoebox using the look-up tool at samaritanspurse.org/label
