One of the ways West Auburn carries out the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations is through Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan's purse. The goal of this ministry is simple: reach underprivileged and unreached children and their families with the gospel by sending them a shoebox full of simple gifts. Every shoebox is given with a gospel presentation, and each child is then invited to participate in the Greatest Journey discipleship program, where the children learn to share their faith with others.
