ABOUT OCC
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan's Purse partners with the local churches worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations. Operation Christmas Child is a longstanding ministry within APC. And what fun we have with this mission! From a packing party to our “box parade”, we find lots of joy in spreading God’s word worldwide and giving to those in need.
If you have questions, please contact Andrea McAleese.
