OPERATion Christmas child

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, we partner with Samaritan’s Purse to send shoeboxes worldwide that share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.

OUR HISTORY

We began supporting OCC as a church wide ministry in 2009. It was believed that Trinity could pack many boxes that blessed many families across the globe, and a group of ladies took the belief and turned it into a reality. 

HOW Many boxes?

When the ministry became a church wide ministry, we started slow by packing 25 boxes. Those 25 boxes was the beginning of a belief turning into a reality. Though we weren't counting the boxes, from there we have challenged ourselves to increase how many boxes were packed each year. In the second year of OCC they packed 40 boxes. Since then Trinity has packed over 5000 boxes to date and plan to gradually increase that amount over time.

Why does OCC exist?

Operation Christmas Child exists to spread the Good News and Great Joy of Jesus, and to declare His Glory among the nations. Each shoebox gift is a tangible representation of the love of God to underprivileged children in third world countries.
