This year we once again are blessed with the opportunity to co-labor with Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child ministry. Calvary Ventura will be a shoebox collection center for our area. We have the opportunity to minister to, pray for, and share the love of Christ with our community as they bring their shoeboxes to our church!

What does that mean?

Our doors will be open to not only receive the shoeboxes, but also to welcome and share the love of Christ with the individuals bringing those boxes. The collection week at Calvary Ventura will be Monday, November 17 thru Monday, November 24.

What do we need?

Teams of servants to welcome, pray, disciple, encourage, serve. Some will be meeting & greeting our visitors, some will be receiving the shoeboxes, some will be behind the scenes processing the boxes… and many will be surprised by the plans God has as we say, “Here I am Lord, send me!”

If God is stirring you to be part of this outreach, or if you have questions, contact Dawn Afman below. Let’s raise up an army to be used by Jesus in the lives of many unnamed families!
