Operation Christmas Child, the unique missions project of Samaritan's Purse, has touched the lives of more than 85 million hurting children since 1993 by distributing 86,034,004 gift-filled shoeboxes and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in crisis areas of the world. Yet there are millions more hurting children still waiting to hear that God loves them -- and it all starts with you! Get involved and help change this world by becoming a member of our Lowcountry Team today.

The area (Beaufort, Hilton Head, Jasper, and Hampton) did a total of 12,813 up from last years total of 10,428 by 2,385 shoe boxes. This is a 23% increase over last year.
The shoe boxes have increased by 90% in the past 5 years in our area. We thank God for all those who participated this year (2010) and impacted the lives of the needest children in the world. Our goal for 2011 is 14,000 shoe boxes.

Through the ministry of thousands of dedicated volunteers, Operation Christmas Child has brought joy and the message of God's unconditional love to hurting children in over 120 countries.

Barry Malphrus our Lowcoutry Team, SC area coordinator recently had the privilege to help with a shoe-box distribution in the Dominican Republic. The joy and hope that the boxes brought to those children will be with him for a lifetime. Barry would love the opportunity to come to your church or organization and tell how one person can make a difference in a child’s life for eternity.
