Cover Operation Christmas Child in Prayer
November 14-21
Prayer is essential to the work of Operation Christmas Child. Only by God’s hand will we meet this year’s goal of collecting 12 million shoebox gifts from the United States and nine other countries. Join us during National Collection Week as we pray for the entire process: the people packing the boxes; the volunteers collecting, processing, and delivering the gifts; and the children receiving them.
