Samaritan's Purse

https://www.samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/

We participate in "the global project Operation Christmas Child that uses gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world." Every year, we collect many boxes to be filled by families in our church and anyone else who wants to help. This is another program where a small effort can make a big impact on lives across the globe.

Emphasis: The urgency of the Gospel

“These gifts open the door for us to share God’s love and the eternal hope of the Gospel with children and their families who are living in desperation and fear. The world is changing, but the message of the cross doesn’t change, bringing the hope of the Gospel to millions, especially the living hope of Jesus. Our mission never changes.”

Seedline International

We participate in this ministry once a year, coming together as families and individuals for a weekend to assemble as many John & Romans Bibles as possible. These Bibles are newly translated into previously unreached languages, sharing the Gospel with people around the world who need to hear it.

While the work can be challenging, we also enjoy the time spent together. It’s truly a blessing to know that each Bible reaches an average of seven people, with at least one coming to salvation.

"A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

-Luke 8: 5-8
