Operation Christmas Child
What is Operation Christmas Child?
Our mission is to impact Waco and the World by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. One of the ways we do this is through the efforts of
Operation Christmas Child
. OCC delivers great hope to millions of children around the world through the Good News of Jesus Christ! We are calling all Columbus Avenuers to join in this excellent effort by lovingly and prayerfully packing a shoebox with gifts that will bring hope through evangelism and discipleship around the world. Shoe boxes will be available year-round in the CABC Missions office. For further questions, please contact
David Villarreal
.
Additionally, we now have an "
item of the month
" as we will have a year-round emphasis. Here is a list of items to donate for the OCC “item of the month.” However, if you see an item at a bargain price, grab it. You can turn items into the CABC Missions office. Thank you for your efforts each month to purchase items to benefit children around the world!
