Classical Conversations and Operation Christmas Child
La semana nacional de recolección
16 al 23 de noviembre, 2026
Living Out “To Know God and Make Him Known”
Classical Conversations Communities are built around a shared mission: to know God and to make Him known. Operation Christmas Child offers a meaningful, hands-on way for CC families to live out that mission together.
By packing shoebox gifts, Foundations and Challenge students alike can put Biblical principles into action—demonstrating stewardship, generosity, and service in a tangible way. Each shoebox gift becomes an opportunity to share God's love with a child in need, reaching communities across more than 100 countries with both meaningful gifts and the message of the Gospel.

2026 Community Challenge
Set a goal as a Community to pack 30 or more shoebox gifts—or go beyond and aim high. This year, CC Communities are invited into a friendly competition to maximize their impact. The Classical Conversations Community that packs and reports the highest number of gift-filled shoeboxes will receive a pizza-party celebration that will include a visit from an Operation Christmas Child representative, a former shoebox recipient who will share their story, and a fun experience for your entire Community.
Submit your total by December 31, 2026.
Winning Community will be announced in January 2027.
