What is an Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box? It's a box packed with the love of God and the Gospel of Jesus! The toys and school supplies help open up the heart of a child to understand that "God so loved the world He gave His one and only Son, that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
