For over 12 years, the AWANA club members have been busy collecting items, packing shoe boxes, and praying for the recipients that they will too know God's Love. By providing a small gift, you will in turn help introduce children to Jesus Christ.  As the shoe boxes arrived in each country, local believers follow up with an evangelistic programs called "The Greatest Journey".  Through this journey many young boys, girls and their families receive Jesus as their Savoir. 

Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has distributed over 123 million shoe box gifts to children around the world in Jesus' Name.   

Through the use of online tracking, the shoe boxes we have packed and prayed over have landed in Mexico twice; the Middle East; Columbia, South America; Uganda, Africa; and many more unknown countries. 

Our AWANA club members truly love this mission project, because they know in their hearts that they are not only giving a gift for Christmas to those less fortunate, but they are providing the greatest gift of all God's Love.

AWANA club members will be collecting year around to help prepare for National Collection week:
​ November 18th - 25th, 2019

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
                  - 1 Peter 1:3
