Operation Christmas Child
a gift campaign from Samaritan's Purse

collection week: November 10-17
Under the motto “It's all about Jesus” Operation Christmas Child gives children in difficult life situations a special Christmas joy through lovingly filled shoeboxes and conveys the message:
YOU are valuable, YOU are special, YOU are loved!
Hope is brought exactly where it's needed. That's why only new gifts are placed in the shoebox.
Shoe boxes packed in German-speaking countries are given to children in Eastern European countries such as Montenegro, Estonia, Poland, Moldova, Hungary, Bulgaria, Latvia, Romania, Ukraine, etc., who often receive a gift for the first time in their lives.
We support this project by Samaritan's Purse and would like to invite you to be part of this wonderful Christmas campaign.
