OCF Christmas

Just about all of us are familiar with the Operation Christmas Child shoebox drive. Perhaps you have even filled a shoebox yourself for Christmas. It’s so fun going to the store with our kids, letting them pick out little gifts and items to add to the box. We love sharing this time with our fellow church members, coming together to pack the boxes and praying over them before they go out around the world. It is a great ministry!

There are over 800 children that are a part of the One Child Fund ministry. As much as we would love to, we are not able to do a similar ministry with shoeboxes due to shipping costs and shipments being seized by customs. However, each year we do send enough funds to provide each child with a gift, a new outfit/jacket, and a special dinner. Over 500 of these children are living directly under the umbrella of a Church of God of Prophecy sponsored orphanage and children’s home. These kids are our family.

Both ministries are important to needy children around the world. During this season of giving, we ask that you don’t forget our own kids who desperately need the reminder that they are loved and cared for by their church family. If you would like to help provide Christmas joy to our kids, please send your donation in by December 9th.
