Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a worldwide mission effort spearheaded by Samaritan's Purse. This year the Southwest Church partnered with the Coffman Family YMCA in Springboro to become a collection site for shoe boxes filled with gifts for boys and girls in poverty stricken areas of the world.
It was exciting to see various individuals, schools, and churches in the community partner together to share God's love with children in need. The picture above shows some of the cartons of boxes (1,508 total shoe boxes) that were collected this past week.
My prayer is that God will work throught the distribution of these boxes to communicate a small reflection of God's greatest gift ... the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ!
