Prayer
Prayer is a powerful resource for strength and success in reaching others with the Gospel message. Please pray for the salvation of the children (and their families) who receive the boxes and strength for our OCC Team who work countless hours to organize, manage, prepare, and oversee all that goes into this ministry.
Shipping
Shipping is $10 per box and we ship approximately 1500 just from our church. While the cost of each box packed by families is to be covered by that family our OCC Team also packs hundreds of boxes on behalf of the church and the church covers the shipping cost.
