| Operation Christmas Child sends a
message of hope to children in desperate situations
around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and
Christian literature. Operation Christmas Child provides
an opportunity for individuals of all ages to be involved
in a simple, hands-on missions project that reaches out
to suffering children while focusing on the true meaning
of Christmas—Jesus Christ, God’s greatest gift.
In 1998, more than
56,500 churches and other organizations and 27,300
volunteers in the United States, Canada, the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, Germany, and Finland
participated in Operation Christmas Child. We collected
over 2.3 million shoe boxes and distributed them to
children in over 55
countries.
