Christmas in July is an opportunity for you to share the Christmas spirit with children who need it most – both in Houston and around the world.

First, since 1993, Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse has brought joy to over 186 million children in the form of simple shoe boxes, filled with gifts, sent through Operation Christmas Child. You, too, can be a part of filling a shoe box with a variety of gifts that will be sent to over 160 countries including: Romania, Argentina, Thailand, Philippines, Mongolia, Africa, Mexico and more.

Secondly, we are collecting school supplies for local ministries. The following are a few of the ministries receiving the collected school supplies: Mission Centers of Houston, Katy Christian Ministries, Mission Northeast, Buckner Aldine, Star of Hope, Boys and Girls Country, Cypress Assistance Ministries, Mission of Yahweh, The Ridges, and West Houston Assistance Ministries.
