Operation Christmas Child

Each year, CrossPoint partners with Samaritan’s Purse to collect shoeboxes from the Clemson community for Operation Christmas Child. Thousands of shoeboxes filled with toys, toiletries, school supplies, and a gospel track are sent to remote parts of the world where upon receiving the boxes, children are presented with the message of the gospel and in some countries offered the opportunity to participate in a 12 week discipleship program.


CrossPoint had a church fellowship last Wednesday night where we packed shoeboxes and wrapped them together. This is always a fun event that we do each year to serve Operation Christmas Child. This year as a church we collected close to 200 boxes.

We also serve as a drop-off location for other churches and organizations in the area. On Monday we sent about 1700 boxes to Anderson, where they will continue to travel to a distribution center before being sent all over the world. It is a joy to help in a small part of such a big mission where so many children will receive a gift of love to lift their spirits this Christmas, and most importantly the opportunity to hear about the love of Christ.
