Operation Christmas Child
This week, we are kicking off our Operation Christmas Child project. We would love for everyone at Ingleside to fill a shoebox with items for children overseas – toys, school supplies, and hygiene items. When these shoebox gifts are distributed in other countries, they provide opportunities for families to hear the gospel, so this is a great way for all of us to be involved in reaching unreached people groups with the good news of Jesus.
We have empty boxes at the main entrances that you can pick up along with a label. You can fill and return them to the Upper Gathering area display by Sunday, November 16.
You can also click here to build a box online! Contact our Missions office if you have any questions.
Here are some numbers showing how many lives are impacted through this ministry every 60 seconds (note: The Greatest Journey is a 12-lesson discipleship course designed for Operation Christmas Child shoebox recipients):
Acts 1:8 Weekend
I hope you are planning to be part of our Acts 1:8 Weekend – our annual world missions conference.
We will welcome missionaries from around the world in gatherings throughout the weekend of November 7-9. You can find more information here.
Join me in praying that the Lord will use this weekend to expand our vision and deepen our commitment to going with the gospel – here, there, and everywhere!
