New Hope Baptist Church Operation Christmas Child is one of the largest discipleship programs in the world today. The church asked complete strangers to donate jean pockets for this group of girls and their OCC project. The shoe boxes are packed from October to mid-November and are packed with small gifts, socks, toothbrushes, lotions, and items such as books. These boxes are then shipped around the world to various places Africa, Haiti and Honduras.
Many of the children who receive boxes have never experienced a Christmas or been given a gift. We taught this year’s group of girls the importance of a servant’s heart, and spread the word and love of God to those around the world by our small acts.
