OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

At Grace Bible Church, our mission for Operation Christmas Child goes far beyond a simple gift. Each shoebox we pack is a “Gospel Opportunity”—a tangible way to reach children across the world with the good news of Jesus Christ. For many children, these gifts are the first time they will hear that God loves them and has not forgotten them.

Donate Stuffed Animals

We are currently collecting new stuffed animals to be used for our shoeboxes. These toys often become a child’s most prized possession and a constant reminder of the message they heard when they received their box.

  • What: New stuffed animals (6-8″)
  • Where: Drop them off in the designated collection bin in the Foyer.

For the month of May, we are also collecting Jump Ropes.

Join a Sorting Group

Help us prepare the way! We have groups meeting regularly to sort through donations like clothing and toys. This ensures that every shoebox is filled with high-quality items that will bless a child.

  • The Task: Organizing clothing by size and gender and prepping toys for packing.
  • Get Involved:  Listen for upcoming group meeting times in the weekly announcements.

Give to the OCC Fund

It costs approximately $10 per box to cover international shipping and, most importantly, the “Greatest Journey” discipleship materials that teach children how to follow Christ.

Our prayer is that every box packed at GBC serves as a bridge to a relationship with Jesus. Since 1993, God has used these shoeboxes to reach over 200 million children in more than 170 countries. Thank you for your generosity, your time, and your prayers as we work together to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
