We want boys and girls around the world to know that God loves them and has not forgotten them during this time of fear and uncertainty. Most of all, they need the hope found only in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This Christmas, you can make a difference in a child’s life!
In-Person
Use an average-sized cardboard/plastic shoebox or grab a pre-printed shoebox (or two) from the FBCO Atrium starting Sunday, October 18.
Fill the box with the suggested gifts.
Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift. You can also include a personal note and photo.
Drop in $9 to cover the cost of shipping.
Bring the filled shoebox back to church anytime from November 1 - November 15. We’ll collect all of the shoeboxes and will drop them off at our local collection center to be shipped out across the world.
Online
For only $25, you can pack a shoebox from your computer or handheld device. Select toys and other fun items to include, as well as a letter and photo to delight the heart of a child.
After we collect and ship shoeboxes like yours overseas, local believers share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with children as they distribute them. As a result, families are reached, new churches are started, and communities are transformed.
