Echo: OCC Shoebox Packing Party!

(THIS IS A SHARED EVENT WITH REGULAR ECHO)

God is at work through Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse sent out close to 12 million shoeboxes in 2024 - that is 12 million Gospel opportunities - to bring the good news of Jesus to the hurting children of the world. We want boys and girls around the world to know that Jesus loves them and has not forgotten them during times of fear, uncertainty, war and poverty.
