Operation Christmas Child 2020 launched in September
and received a wonderful response.

We are Delighted to Announce that the Final Shoebox Count for 2020 was:
754
Exceeding the 2019 count by 34
This is an incredible achievement during a very difficult year.
Sincere thanks to all who have made this years appeal
such an amazing success.
Operation Christmas Child 2019
In 2019, River of Life Church despatched a massive, record breaking 720 shoeboxes to Central Asia ready for delivery to children in time for Christmas. In the words of Sally Verow, "A Huge, Huge Thank You to everyone who made this possible"
Volunteers form a Human Chain to shift boxes!
