Be Part of the Mission: Pack a Shoebox for Operation Christmas Child

Since 1993, more than 232 million children in over 170 countries and territories have experienced God’s love through the power of a simple shoebox. These gifts, packed by people just like you, are more than just toys and supplies—they are tangible expressions of God’s love and an open door to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

At ACC, we’re excited to partner with Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. Each box is an opportunity to bless a child with joy, hope, and most importantly, the message of salvation.

When you pack a shoebox, you’re doing more than sending gifts. You’re sending the Good News.

Here’s how you can get involved:

Pick up a shoebox from the church lobby or use your own.
Fill it with quality items like toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and a note of encouragement.
Pray over your box—ask God to use it to change a child’s life.

Together, we can help reach the next child, the next family, the next village—with the life-transforming love of Jesus.

Let’s be the hands and feet of Christ to children around the world.
