Shoeboxes are filled with small gifts and given as Christmas presents to disadvantaged children around the world.

SHOEBOX CHARITY: At the launch in Kaitaia today.

The “Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts” is also a door opener. The gifts in the shoeboxes are opening the door to help impoverished communities around the world to meet their practical needs. And there are many of course.

The love of God is expressed in a practical way through the gifts.

Let us pray that it is the beginning of a life-changing experience for the child who receives a shoebox.
