Canal Winchester Methodist Church
A Global Methodist Church
“Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”
Mark 10:14, ESV
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.
For the past 10+years, CWMC has collected shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. Since 1993, more than 232 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox thanks to Samaritan's Purse. The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.
Canal Winchester Methodist Church partners with Samaritan's Purse to build, collect, and fill shoeboxes to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ at festive outreach events where children are surprised with these gifts.
