Revd Jerome who has built trust amongst those who sleep rough, leads a street ministry dedicated to helping the vulnerable during freezing winters. He sets up an mobile soup kitchen, providing nourishing soup to those in need. Beyond soup, Revd Jerome emphasises the importance of building relationships and fostering a sense of community with those who need it. Through genuine connections, trust is built, stories are shared, and dignity is restored.
Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on way for Australians and New Zealanders to bless children in need around the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies and other fun gifts. We collect the gift-filled shoeboxes and distribute them to children in over 100 countries in the Name of Jesus Christ.
After receiving a shoebox gift, children have the opportunity to enrol in The Greatest Journey – our dynamic, 12-lesson Bible study course that guides children through what it means to faithfully follow Jesus Christ.
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
