Operation Christmas Child is a unique project of Samaritan’s Purse that enables caring people to share God’s love with hurting girls and boys in the far corners of the globe. Whether they are refugees of civil war, survivors of a natural disaster, or victims of extreme poverty, these little ones need to know that they are precious to God.

First Baptist Church invites the community to take part in the Operation Christmas Child project. Brochures with information on how to pack your shoe box and what items to include are available at the church located at 701 Court St., Fulton or online at www.samaritanspurse.org.

UPDATE:  First Baptist Church of Fulton, MO collected 180 from our own church family and 897 from other churches, college students, and various individuals in Callaway County.  Thanks to those who gave monetary gifts to be used to help with shipping and other expenses for this project!
