Christmas Outreach
Sharing God’s love and the hope of Jesus through gift-filled shoeboxes.
Grace Bible Maui partners with Operation Christmas Child to prepare gift-filled shoeboxes that share joy, God’s love, and the Good News of Jesus with children around the world.
Samaritan’s Purse collects shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and other practical gifts for children around the world. Since Operation Christmas Child began in 1993, local churches and volunteers have helped deliver these gifts to children in communities across the globe.
For many children, a shoebox may be their first gift. Each box offers more than a moment of joy—it provides a tangible expression of God’s love and an opportunity for local churches to share the hope and Good News of Jesus Christ.
November 16–23, 2026
