Operation Christmas Child is a program of Samaritan’s Purse which focuses on the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus Christ, God’s greatest gift. Through this ministry, people fill shoeboxes with small items for needy children around the world. Gospel booklets are also given to each child in their own language when the boxes are distributed. Over 6 million shoeboxes are distributed to children in over 90 countries each year.

Holiday Planning is Starting
Mission Outreach has been blessed in the past to be able to offer several opportunities for serving at the holiday time. These opportunities include Operation Christmas Child, "No Strings Attached," The Gift Tree, and Thanksgiving Meals. We are starting the planning process and would love to have anyone with organizational skills and a passion for missions help. We have lots of fun and you'll be amazed at the way it touches your heart. Please call KZ at 952-898-9301 or e-mail at kkboboski@princeofpeaceonline.org if you are interested in helping.
