The ministry of Operation Christmas Child has an over 20-year history with the members of Mandarin United Methodist Church. Over these years, shoeboxes and the gospel has been shared in over 150 countries. We distribute shoeboxes in October. For families, this is a wonderful way to teach your children about sharing with children around the world that might be receiving their first ever gift, as well as hearing about Jesus. For more information, contact Melissa Trawick, 904-502-7644, or Merrie Mogle, 904-315-8049.
