Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and Christian literature. This program provides an opportunity for individuals of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project that reaches out to suffering children while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas– Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. In 2002, over 5 million shoe boxes were collected worldwide and distributed to children in about 95 countries.

Each year, we at Vanguard church participate in this great ministry. Please pray for those children that will receive our boxes--that they will know the love of Jesus through our act of kindness!
