A Free Workshop, “In the Know about Operation Christmas Child,” will be held at Towering Oaks Baptist Church on Sunday, July 28th, 2024, from 2:30-4 PM.
Operation Christmas Child’s mission is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. The organization works with local churches worldwide to help with their mission. Members pack shoeboxes filled with gifts like toys, school supplies, and hygiene products and deliver them to children.
The Ministry has spread love since 1993 and has sent out over 220 million shoeboxes since they first started to more than 170 countries. In 2023, they delivered 11.3 million shoeboxes to children.
Consider joining others who have a passion for sharing the Gospel through this incredible Ministry. Operation Christmas Child member, Theresa Sawyer, said 2.9 million children have accepted Jesus through this initiative. She appreciates Towering Oaks Baptist Church for working with Operation Christmas Child.
The goal for Northeast Tennessee in 2024 is to send 61,000 shoeboxes to children. Last year, they delivered 55,951 shoeboxes within East Tennessee.
Learn how to get involved, hear from a shoebox recipient/Rwandan genocide survivor, and learn about the 2024 shoebox delivery experience to Kenya. The event is at 1985 Buckingham Road. For any questions or more information, call Melissa Pitts at 807-384-4021.
