Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, has collected and delivered more than 198 million shoebox gifts to children in more than 170 countries and territories.
Operation Christmas Child collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.
A workshop extravaganza is planned for OCC and is slated for Aug. 13, at Friendship Baptist Church.
A project leader workshop will be held from 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. where Nina Bolton who is regional director for the Delta Hills region will present her visit to Africa where she participated in a shoebox distribution.
The extravaganza is open to all who are interested and door prizes will be given during the event.
