Praise Assembly
Operation Christmas Child

Welcome

We are on a mission teaming together for an Samaritan's Purse Project: Operation Christmas Child.  Here you will find information that you and your family need to pack a shoebox for a little girl or a little boy this Christmas. This wonderful Christian ministry is focused on sharing the gospel around the world at Christmas time! Come take part with us and let's help spread the Good News of Jesus Christ!  

Meet Our Team 

Patsy Nicholson 

  Church Campus Director- Dropoff Leader 

Patsy Nicholson has been with Praise Assembly for many years, serving in various roles  throughout the years in the church. Operation Christmas Child is one of the roles that she has taken lead on, and what a blessing it is to have her in this position.  Patsy has served as a drop-off leader, receiving shoe boxes from Praise Assembly and also for Western Burke County.  She is thorough in overseeing all that is required  by Samaritan's Purse, inspecting and coordinating the final packing of shoeboxes before they head to
the processing center in  Charlotte, NC. 

Adneia Edwards 

 Packing Coordinator 

Adneia Edwards is another individual who fills many roles in our church, and what a blessing she is to us.  Adneia serves as our Packing Manager in the Operation Christmas Child Ministry.  Her role is to use the donations to shop for the items needed to fill hundreds of shoeboxes.  She meets with various groups within the church to fill shoeboxes, involving kids church, the youth, and other saints in the church that are passionate with this ministry.  We are so blessed to have such a faithful servant  on our team!


Our  Volunteers 

Operation Christmas Child would not be what it is today without the help of all of our volunteers that come to help! We appreciate each and everyone, and every year we have many volunteers that come out to help with the final packing before shipment to Charlotte, NC. This ministry takes everyone coming together to help achieve one goal:  to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world. In addition, the family of God at Praise Assembly makes awesome Christmas Memories!
