On Nov. 13, 175 gift boxes were filled by youth and adults at St. John's and delivered to Lighthouse Baptist Church in Frankfort, which is one of more than 3,200 drop off locations in the United States.

From there, they were trucked to one of six processing centers where they are shipped or flown to all parts of the world. 

Since 1993, this project of Samaritan’s Purse has delivered gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in more than 130 countries and St. John's is proud to be a part of it. 

We joined tens of thousands of  churches and other organizations throughout our country in helping brighten children's lives this Christmas.
