Bless someone this Christmas!!

9th November 2009

UK has this project call the 'Operation Christmas Child' (OCC) by Samaritan's Purse. The church I'm attending (ie. BCEC) is involved in this project. :)

Some fast facts about OCC:

"Operation Christmas Child is the UK's largest children's Christmas appeal and has been running for over 19 years. Thanks to a huge army of volunteers who give their time to help make this Christmas 'miracle' come to life, we are able to deliver gift-filled shoeboxes to children in Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We work with local churches and charities overseas to ensure that your shoebox gets delivered by hand to children who need it most. Our approach is to give shoeboxes to children in need, regardless of their background or beliefs. Where it's appropriate our local partners also make available to children a booklet of Bible stories, including the original Christmas story - the birth of Jesus."

Hence, OCC is often known as Operation Shoebox because of its concept. Now you might wonder where does the gifts go to?? Click here.

NOTE: You don't have to be a christian to join this project..

Anyone can help the less fortunate ones. It's really easy, all you have to do is to get a shoebox(with proper measurements) and pack the box accordingly as shown here . Donations in cash form is greatly welcome too!

You can watch the video for further info.

Start blessing at least one life this Christmas. Like it is always said, 'Christmas is a time of giving and sharing'. You can make a difference !!

ps: My cell group will be working on the shoebox & shopping this Thursday ( 12th Nov at 5.30p.m.). Contact me if you want to join too! :) I'll brief you on the details.
