The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to children in need around the world by partnering with churches worldwide to share the joy of a simple, heartfelt gift and the Good News of Jesus Christ. The program also includes a follow-up discipleship course, known as The Greatest Journey, which teaches children how to know, grow in, and share their faith.
Here's a breakdown of the mission:
Tangible demonstration of God's love:
Shoeboxes filled with gifts bring joy and provide a concrete way for children to experience God's love.
Evangelism:
The gifts serve as a tool for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with children and their families.
Discipleship:
Children who receive shoeboxes are invited to participate in "The Greatest Journey," a 12-lesson program designed to teach them about the Christian faith and how to grow in it.
Local church partnerships:
The project relies on local churches to distribute the gifts and facilitate the discipleship program, ensuring a lasting spiritual impact.
This year, Dr. Priscilla Heredia was selected “team leader” for the Eagle Pass area. Our team has had the honor of participating in this project for many years and this year was no exception. We’re so glad to bring a smile to many children this holiday season!
