Reaching kids around the world with the Gospel…
Teaching kids to obey the Great Commission !!! October – December, 2011
Bringing Joy to the World Through Operation Christmas Child!!!
Kids for Christ Club students at Moore Elementary (left) and Wolf Creek Elementary (right) in Tulsa, OK, learn to “Think Big” and reach children around the world by packing shoe box gifts for “Operation Christmas Child!”
God opened doors and World Changer Kids walked through them! This fall, we were able to Partner with The Bridge Church in Bixby, OK, as well as with local elementary school Kids for Christ clubs to facilitate the creation of many shoe box gifts for the children of the world through “Operation Christmas Child!” Windee World and Dr. Living Stone have worked with the “Operation Christmas Child” outreach project for 16 years by spreading the vision, coordinating local school and church collections, making presentations to school & church groups, and packing hundreds of shoe box gifts to send the love of God and the message of the Gospel to countries around the world.

Since 1993, a Christian relief organization called Samaritan’s Purse has collected and distributed more than
86 million gift-filled shoe boxes to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to hurting children around the world
in more than 130 countries! Directed by Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, Samaritan’s Purse
partners with ordinary people like us as well as with churches, schools, and community organizations to pack
shoe boxes with small gifts, toys, school supplies, and personal care items. The gift-filled shoe boxes are
collected during the week before Thanksgiving and distributed around the Christmas season to bless millions
of children and their families worldwide every year. Most shoe box gift distributions are accompanied by the
distribution of Gospel literature and teaching about Jesus – especially the Christmas story. “Operation
Christmas Child” has become the single largest project for children’s evangelism in the world! Over the past
few years, Samaritan’s Purse has also developed a 12 lesson Bible study program for children called “The
Greatest Journey,” which is now available in 60 languages! The Greatest Journey program is used worldwide
as follow-up after the shoe box distributions to help children grow in their new faith in Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Savior.

During National Collection Week Nov. 14 – 21, 2011, over 23,500 shoe box gifts were collected for OCC in the Tulsa area!
Grace Church Christmas Outreach Yields a Harvest for God’s Kingdom! On December 18, families and children from the Tulsa area gathered at Grace Church for a
wonderful Christmas music program and amazing food and gift distribution. The goal was to touch
hundreds of children with the love of God, special Christmas gifts, and the message of the Gospel.
World Changer Kids donated over 300 paperback NIrV New Testaments for children to be given
away during the outreach. God brought in a great harvest of 230 salvations - 200 of them children!
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven
belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14, NIV) We were very blessed to be able to contribute to
this amazing outreach!

The opportunities have never been greater to impact the world by reaching children with the message of
salvation through Jesus Christ! Will you help us in 2012 by giving a financial gift to help reach children
around the world? We have opportunities to partner with ministries that are distributing Bible story booklets
to children in China. We would like to give much more into this opportunity while the door is open.
We can’t do it without you! If you would like to give, you can do so on our website:

are making a general contribution or want to donate to the Bible story booklets for children in China.
