Operation Christmas Child Update

Operation Christmas Child Update

Thank you for participating in Operation Christmas Child this year! We collected 1,785 shoeboxes!!

As the shoeboxes are being shipped and distributed, please join us in praying that God will put each shoebox in the hands of just the right child, so that every boy and girl can experience His love in a speacial way.  Pray also that the shoeboxes will open doors for the Gospel to be presented and for the Christmas Child to be made known.  Our hope is that many children will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour!

Many thanks to our North Shore Collection Center Coordinators, Davida, Christina & David, and to everyone who participated in Operation Christmas Child this year!

Shoeboxes can still be packed online at www.packabox.ca if you missed the in-person collection and would like to participate!
