Take the Challenge!
Your community group could get a rare opportunity to take an expenses-paid trip together overseas to witness children hearing and responding to the Gospel through Operation Christmas Child outreach events!
The community group that wins our Liberty University Shoebox Challenge will be invited to join several local churches in an overseas location (details in process) as they share the Good News of Jesus Christ—God’s Greatest Gift—and distribute Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts to children in need in their communities. Experience what it’s like to see the joy on a child’s face as they receive what might be their first gift!
The trip is being tentatively scheduled for a few days following the end of final exams. What a way for your community group to mark the end of a semester together before celebrating the birth of our Lord Christ Jesus at Christmas!
Challenge Details Pick up free shoeboxes to fill with gifts at Campus Community on Oct. 10. Meet as a community group to fill shoeboxes to the brim with new, quality-condition school supplies, hygiene items, toys, and other fun items. See our gift suggestions according to age group, and don’t forget to include a “Wow” Item! Pray as a group for the boys and girls who will receive your shoebox gifts. Enter your group in the Challenge by Nov. 5! Post a video or photo of your community group packing shoebox gifts—using #LUShoeboxChallenge, tagging @OperationChristmasChild, and including the number of shoeboxes the group is packing and the number of group participants. Only one post/entry per community group, so brainstorm and make the most out of the post! Drop off your packed shoeboxes at the Liberty University Shoebox Blitz, Nov. 2–9, in Montview Student Union. Be sure to fill out a shoebox drop-off log there to associate the shoebox gifts you are dropping off with your community group.What we’re looking for in #LUShoeboxChallenge submissions: A panel of judges will evaluate Challenge submissions based on depth of participation, creativity, quality, and presentation. Share the excitement of packing Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts! Convey the Gospel focus of sharing God’s love with children in need around the world!
The number of shoebox gifts you pack is important because each shoebox means one more child who hears the Gospel through Operation Christmas Child, but we’re also wanting to see how you’re helping to spread the Good News and Great Joy of our Lord Jesus Christ through this ministry! Remember, your group’s post is an opportunity to tell others the eternal difference that God is making in lives around the world!
Contest RulesMembers of the community group that wins the #LUShoeboxChallenge must have an official passport that’s valid for at least six months beyond the dates of the trip that will occur in mid-December in order for each person to be eligible to go on the trip.

More Than A Shoebox!
<!---->
When a child receives an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift, it is only the beginning. Millions of boys and girls also have the opportunity to learn more about Jesus’ gift of salvation and what it means to follow Him.
As a follow-up to its Operation Christmas Child project, Samaritan’s Purse developed a discipleship program for shoebox recipients called The Greatest Journey. Samaritan’s Purse trains local churches to teach this 12-lesson Bible study about how to receive Jesus as Savior and to tell others about His saving grace.
God can use you to help change a child’s eternity.
