Kathie Hill's musical emphasizes how the gift of Jesus' birth motivates us to share our blessings with others. With four main characters and a style similar to her best-selling musical Promise U, Operation Christmas Child helps us discover who this "Christmas Child" is and what exactly is inside all of those boxes.

Written in association with the Christian relief organization, Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child gives your girls and boys an opportunity to participate in the worldwide outreach of their Christmas shoebox ministry. Incorporated into the story line and included in the Director's Aide and Video is a message from Samaritan's Purse president, Franklin Graham, along with footage of children across the globe receiving their gifts. These images combined with songs like "Christmas Started with a Present" and "I Will Worship You" will help your children and your congregation experience the breadth of Christ's love around the world.
