Fly Church of the Nazarene

Since 1993, over 220 million boys and girls in more than 170 countries and territories have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.

Participate in a variety of ways...

• Pray! Pray for the children who will receive these gift boxes. Pray for the volunteers and staff of Samaritan’s Purse as they carry out this ministry. Pray for hearts to be open to receiving the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• Pack a shoebox: Use one of the shoeboxes available at church or a shoebox of your own and pack with gifts for a child. Drop off your completed box(es) at Fly. Details on how to pack a shoebox can be found at this link.
• Include a letter or photo to personalize your box: Preprinted letter forms are available at church for kids to share about themselves and include with their box.
• Build a Shoebox Online: Samaritan’s Purse will pack a box with appropriate items and send it on its way for a suggested donation of $25. Learn more here.

What to pack, and what not to pack.

We have boxes and labels available at church. Fly Nazarene will cover the processing donation for boxes collected by our congregation. Anyone wishing to contribute may do so through regular offerings on any Sunday. This contribution covers shipping expenses and the ministry supplies used by OCC to share the gospel with shoebox recipients.
