Operation Christmas Child 2024 is Underway
“Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs
the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14, ESV
Mount Zion is once again partnering with Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to children in need around the world by sending gift- filled shoeboxes.
In 2023, Mount Zion donated 80 shoeboxes. Our goal is to meet or exceed that number in 2024. The children not only receive our boxes, they are also told the great news of Jesus, bringing others into the fold.
We will have a packing party again this year!
As you purchase items, you may bring them to the church. To see what items are allowed in our boxes, visit:
Operation Christmas Child | Shoebox Outreach of Samaritan’s Purse (samaritanspurse.org)
