Darlene’s 2025 Operation Christmas Child Drive

Hi Friends, I’m leading my 6th Annual fundraiser for Operation Christmas Child. This effort collects donations that are 100% used to buy toys, school supplies, and toothbrushes for children worldwide. This is our way to show the love of God in a tangible way…a free gift. Nothing is required of the children to receive this gift. Like God’s love and the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, it’s free to all. Here in San Antonio, Texas, volunteers from Covenant Community Church, friends, and family pack these gifts in November for worldwide distribution through Samaritan’s Purse.

Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has provided an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift to more than 220 million children in over 170 countries and territories. Local ministry partners hand out these tangible expressions of God’s love at child-friendly, Gospel-focused outreach events. Afterward, many of the boys and girls are invited to attend The Greatest Journey discipleship program. Through 12 Bible lessons, children learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. They tell friends and family what they are learning, and more people put their faith in Christ—and go on to tell still others. Through these dynamic evangelism and discipleship efforts, believers and churches are multiplying! Please join us. My Goal is $4,000. Donations of any amount are needed and appreciated.
