We are excited to announce that ABF Outreach Ministry is participating in Operation Christmas Child this year for our year-end global mission!

Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations worldwide through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love.

For every shoebox received by a child, it is estimated that about seven people get to hear the Gospel. In addition, every child that receives a shoebox is also given the opportunity to go through a 12-week discipleship program in which they get a Bible in their own language.

Our goal is to pack 50 shoeboxes with gifts of small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, t-shirts and sunglasses, etc.

See this link for suggested items. https://build-a-shoebox.samaritanspurse.org/view/cbb405d6-86a7-4ae6-aba5-85503ec6b6f2
