We’re excited to once again participate in Operation Christmas Child this year. Through a simple shoebox filled with school supplies, a toy and hygiene items, the message of hope and love will reach not only a child but entire communities as they learn about our Savior this Christmas.

Last year, Freshwater collected 354 shoeboxes!

Get Your Box (or Boxes)!

Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes will be available to pick up beginning Sunday, October 27 in the Freshwater foyer. The last day to drop off your filled boxes will be Sunday, November 24.

The Shoebox is Only the Beginning

Children who receive a shoebox are invited to participate in “The Greatest Journey,” a 12-lesson discipleship program that shows them when it means to follow Jesus and to share their faith with family and friends. Since this program began in 2009, more than 17.4 million children have made the decision to accept Jesus as their Savior after completing this course.
