It’s Operation Christmas Child season, and this year, STF’s Children’s Ministry is partnering with our Missions Ministry for this annual outreach project.

Operation Christmas Child is a great way to reach not just children, but communities around the world, with the Gospel. It’s more than just a Christmas charity. The shoe boxes are used as a platform to share the Gospel with kids. Inside each box is a pamphlet, “The Greatest Gift,” which clearly communicates the Gospel in the child’s own language. After that, children who attend the distribution event are invited back to go through “The Greatest Journey,” a 12-week discipleship program. Then, a graduation ceremony takes place, and children receive a New Testament in their own language.
