MARSHALL, Texas - East Texas Baptist University participated in its tenth annual Operation Christmas Child, an outreach program organized by Samaritan’s Purse. This ministry involves filling festive shoeboxes with small toys, school supplies, hygiene products, and other items sent to children worldwide as Christmas gifts and tangible reminders of God’s love for them. This year, ETBU also served as a designated drop-off location, inviting the community surrounding the University to join in sharing joy and hope with the world.
Operation Christmas Child is a treasured tradition on campus, as students, faculty, and staff unite to shop, pack, and pray for children and families who will receive the gifts. Volunteers carefully select toys, clothing, and necessities for children aged two to 14, e
