Operation Christmas Child offers volunteer opportunities

Operation Christmas Child North Central Arkansas (shoebox ministry) is active in Baxter County and the surrounding eight counties. A division of Samaritan’s Purse (Franklin Graham), this is the largest child evangelism ministry in the world. Tangible gifts of love are packed in shoeboxes- filled with school supplies, toiletries, clothes/shoes, stuffed animals, toys, games, soccer balls/pumps, dolls, etc. These boxes are placed in the hands of local Pastors in over 100 countries. They in turn distribute the gifts to local children along with the message of hope, love and salvation that Jesus loves them. If you want to be part of a global, eternal impact ministry but don’t have a desire, resources or health to travel to another country, Operation Christmas Child might be a good fit. We are currently seeking individuals called to join our North Central Arkansas team in year-round volunteer roles. Maybe you prefer to pack shoeboxes or coordinate packing within your school, clinic, business, athletic team, community group or church.
