Operation Christmas Child — A Division of Samaritan’s Purse
What goes into every shoebox is something fun...what comes out is eternal!
EVERY gift-filled box is a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship—
transforming the lives of children and their families around the world through
the Good News of Jesus Christ! Pre-printed shoeboxes and plastic ones are
available on the card table in the narthex. If ordering a soccer ball, it would be
best to use a plastic box.
Have you ever thought about sending a SOCCER BALL in your Operation Christmas Child shoe
box gift? One soccer ball and one shoebox can not only change one life, but hundreds of lives
in a village. If you are interested, please sign up on the bulletin board in the foyer. If you have
any questions please see a member of the Mission Team.
Vendor: EPIC Sports
Cost of Size 5 Champion Soccer Ball = $5.69
Cost of Champion Sports 10" Plastic Hand Ball Pump = $1.59
Cost of Champro Ball Inflation Needles = $.69
Total Cost of One (1) Soccer Set = $7.97
