The Victory Baptist Church Family would like to thank everyone who played a part in making their Operation Christmas Child ministry effort a huge success this year. With your help they were able to raise enough money through their gift and bake sale, as well as the raffle of a beautiful quilt, to send shoeboxes full of fun and useful gifts to 384 children. Many of these children have never received a gift of any kind in their entire lives. Through these shoeboxes, the children are shown God’s love and are given a chance to learn more about Him.

This past weekend marked the ninth year that Living Proof Church was able to serve the community and give deserving families a full Thanksgiving meal with all the fixings.
