OCC 2025: Volunteers helping out in Atlanta From Mark Fudge A group of volunteers from Adair County recently traveled to the Samaritans purse Operation Christmas Child processing center in Atlanta, GA. The group has been busy this week processing OCC shoebox gifts. These boxes will be traveling to other countries to bless children over the world over the next few weeks. The group is made up primarily of individuals from the Columbia Baptist Church, but also has volunteers from other churches in the area as well. The Atlanta processing center has already processed more than 1 million shoebox gifts, and hopes to reach 2 million shoeboxes by the end of next week. Nationwide at the eight processing centers across the United States Samaritans Purse hopes to process over 12 million shoebox gifts over the next few days. An amazing statistic about the shoebox gifts in 2024 is that 27% of the recipients of shoebox gifts led to the gift of salvation for the children receiving their boxes. Not only do the children receive the wonderful gifts in each shoebox, but they also receive gospel materials written in their own language, which consist of a 12 week study of the gospel. Columbia Baptist Church has had a group travel to the Atlanta processing center almost every year since 2016. 2025-12-08 11:39:18 | Comments | Printable version
