Christmas comes THIS SUNDAY - November 14th - at The Heights Fellowship! 2010 marks the sixth year THF has partnered with Samaritan's Purse International Relief for our holiday focus - Operation Christmas Child.
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love. The Heights Fellowship is connecting with Samaritan’s Purse to provide an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ, God’s greatest gift. Along with shoe box gifts, millions of children are given Gospel booklets in their own language. In 2009, the International Operation Christmas Child effort distributed 7.9 million shoe box gifts worldwide and distributed them to children in over 100 countries around the world.
Our annual Christmas partnership with Operation Christmas Child began In 2005, when THF families delivered 143 filled shoeboxes to the Samaritan's Purse drop off location. In 2006, we delivered exactly 200 boxes...our goal. In 2007, our goal was 300 and we delivered 460 boxes! What an amazing thing! In 2008, we collected just under 500 boxes. In 2010, we want to continue this bold emphasis.
Every box represents a precious boy or girl in need of a Savior. You can participate in Operation Christmas Child as a family, as an individual, or as a Small Group.
