The Victory Baptist Church Family would like to thank everyone who played a part in making their Operation Christmas Child ministry effort a huge success this year. With your help they were able to raise enough money through their gift and bake sale, as well as the raffle of a beautiful quilt, to send shoeboxes full of fun and useful gifts to 384 children. Many of these children have never received a gift of any kind in their entire lives. Through these shoeboxes, the children are shown God’s love and are given a chance to learn more about Him.
