OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
The Amazing Journey of a Shoebox Gift Begins with You and Results in Evangelism, Discipleship, and Multiplication.
You can get involved right here at CPC Ventura! Every shoebox gift is an opportunity to reach a child with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Join us for our 2024 Packing Party, Saturday, November 16!
Join us on Saturday, 11/16 from (1-3:30pm) as we pack gift boxes for children all over the world. These boxes are delivered by local partners, showing God’s love and allowing opportunity to present the gospel in a clear, kid-friendly way. Please register for a packing time slot. You can also pack boxes online or at home and bring them back by Sunday 11/17.
You can pack a box online, all year long! Visit the link below to pack a shoebox!
“ .... let us not love with words or speech but with ACTIONS and in truth.”

Along with each shoebox gift the children hear a Gospel presentation and receive a booklet in their language The Greatest Gift, a Gospel story booklet Samaritan’s Purse developed for shoebox recipients, and the children are invited to participate in The Greatest Journey discipleship program.
In the hands of local churches, every gift-filled shoebox is a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship—transforming the lives of children and their families around the world through the Good News of Jesus Christ!
Your donations are critical for Operation Christmas Child shoebox collecting, processing, and shipping, as well as ministry partner training and Gospel materials. Make your checks payable to CPC with Operation Christmas Child in the memo line to help us cover the Shipping and Evangelism expenses for our packing party shoeboxes.

From the very beginning of your preparations, be sure to pray for the children who will receive your shoebox gifts. Ask God to prepare their hearts to receive His love and to specifically guide you as you shop and pack to put just what each child needs in their shoebox. Then before you send them off, pray over them again asking the Lord Jesus Christ to draw each recipient to Himself.
If these shoe box experiences touch your heart, please contact Dawn Shoenberger and get plugged in with this beautiful ministry at CPC Ventura.
