Samaritan’s Purse – Operation Christmas Child
Number of Ministered to:
200 children received a gift
Events Performed and Actions Taken:
The Christmas Appeal – This is the “Samaritan’s Purse Australia” for the operation Christmas Child Appeal. Through Samaritan’s Purse children and families caught in the cycle of poverty are provided with a gift shoe box, filled with school supplies, toys and personal items. The shoe boxes are distributed through local churches and represent the Christian message of hope and explain the true meaning of Christmas – God’s gift of his son, Jesus. These gifts have been filled in shoeboxes by the Asia Pacific staff. We filled 200 boxes altogether.
Testimony:
As each shoe box gift is delivered it is treasured by the child that receives it and it is a lasting reminder that he or she is precious to God.
