Hello, MOCOP members and friends! It's that time again to start building shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child (OCC), a project of Samaritan's Purse.

This marks our 5th year of building shoeboxes, and each year we set our goal a little higher. This year our goal is to build 80 shoeboxes, and we hope that you will join us in making this goal a reality. Though the shoeboxes are packed filled with items that children will enjoy, it is not just about giving material gifts. We pack these shoeboxes with the hope that the children who receive them will accept the Ultimate Gift, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. After hearing the Gospel message, it is our hope that the children will carry that same message back to their families and communities, and as a result, entire families and communities will be saved.

So as you see, these shoeboxes are used as an introduction to the Gospel message. By building shoeboxes, we are taking the Gospel to the ends of the world and making a global impact for the Kingdom of God. If you would like to help a child feel the love of Jesus through a shoebox, please consider building a shoebox online or building a traditional shoebox. For more information on how you can get involved see below.

We are  Sharing the Gospel one shoebox at a time!
