Heroes Welcome!

Do you know someone in your church or group who goes “above and beyond” to ensure that children around the world have the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes? If you do, we want to hear about them! We will feature some of these special shoebox packers on our Shoebox Heroes page.

Also, we encourage you and your church to join us for the Operation Christmas Child Global Call to Prayer on Sunday, Nov. 2, starting at 6 p.m. ET. The worldwide streaming event will be led by children and ministry partners from several nations. We will praise and petition God for every step of the shoebox journey—from collection to distribution to discipleship—all for His glory!
