Operations Christmas Child

🎁 Operation Christmas Child

Everyone is invited to pack and donate shoeboxes to bless children around the world.

Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection. Our goal is to collect 600 shoeboxes filled with gifts that share God’s love and provide children with an opportunity to hear the Gospel.

When?

  • Fusion’s final collection day: Sunday, November 22, 2026

  • Shoeboxes will be delivered after the third service.

Where?

  • Drop-off and collection: Fusion Church 

  • On November 22, bring your shoebox directly to the sanctuary, where we will pray over the boxes before delivery.

These boxes go to many children living in poverty, orphanages, or refugee camps; a shoebox may be the first gift they have ever received. More than a gift, each shoebox is an opportunity to share the Gospel, demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way, and participate in global outreach.
