Operation Christmas Child 2011

From October 28th at 11AM through November 27th at 12PM

Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the message of God’s unconditional love. It provides an opportunity for you to be involved in a simple, hands-on project of Samaritan’s Purse that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas – Jesus Christ – God’s greatest gift.

To date, Operation Christmas Child has collected and distributed over 86 million shoe box gifts worldwide. Each shoe box gift is filled with hygiene items, school supplies, toys, and candy, is given to children regardless of gender, race, religion, or age. When culturally appropriate, copies of a book entitled The Greatest Gift of All, which has been translated into 130 different languages, are offered to children after the shoe box has already been distributed.

Join us:
In celebrating the 640,714 shoe boxes collected in Canada in the 2010 season.
In packing even more shoe boxes that will bless children around the world in the 2011 season.

The 2011 National Collection Week is November 21-27. You can drop off your boxes at Grande Prairie Alliance Church from November 22nd-27th.
