Praying that the next hands to touch our unique gifts would bring smiles . . . laughter . . . and a knowledge that if a complete stranger across the world loved their beating heart enough to send love in a box then so must the God of the universe.

Operation Christmas Child has generated more than 4,070 miles of smiles since 1993—enough smiles to reach from Anchorage to Miami. Join us.

If the 8.5 million shoe boxes collected in 2011 are stacked on top of each other, they would stand 146 times higher than Mt. Everest.  Join us.

Operation Christmas Child uses tracking technology that allows donors to “follow” their shoe box to find out the destination country where it will be hand-delivered to a child in need.  Join us.
