Youth Explosion is partnering with Operation Christmas Child again this year to provide gift filled shoe boxes to children all around the world! Each shoe box represents a unique gospel opportunity and you can participate in spreading the Good News in two ways:

1. Your youth group can bring gift filled shoe boxes with you to the conference. Download details and instructions HERE. ($7 donation not required).

2. You can make Operation Christmas Child your Saturday afternoon service project. We’ll provide shoe boxes and directions to local discount stores where your youth group can shop and fill the shoe boxes. Your group is responsible for bringing or raising the money needed to shop.  Details for local discount stores can be found HERE.

We’ll be collecting the shoe boxes in the main lobby on Saturday evening where we’ll create a HUGE wall of boxes! Our goal is to collect 1500 shoe boxes! We hope you’ll join the fun and help us make a major difference around the world!

The Youth Group who collects the most shoe boxes will be recognized at the Saturday evening program and get a pizza party that night!
