Around the world

Share the love of Christ with children across the world without leaving Pensacola through Operation Christmas Child (OCC), a project of Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian international relief organization. Join us as we pack shoeboxes that pastors in over 100 countries will distribute to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, and famine.
Over the last two years, we have packed over 9,500 boxes. But it’s not about a child opening a box; it’s about what the box opens for the child: the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus through a local church, begin a lifelong relationship with Him, and lead others to do the same.
Join us for our church-wide OCC packing party as well as several preparation days throughout the year. The only skills needed are the ability to sit at a table and open packages of pencils or other similar items, and, as a bonus, get to know members of our FBCP family while you work.

Do you want to make a significant impact both locally and globally? Are you looking for a ministry in which to serve, while being part of a group of wonderful, loving women of faith? Then please come check out Sewing for Jesus. Our ministry creates much-needed items for young girls. In partnership with Operation Christmas Child, these items not only fill physical needs but also the spiritual needs of these girls through the Christmas Box program. What a blessing it is to be part of such a wonderful outreach of FBCP. Please join us as we work together to change lives and futures one dress and one reusable hygiene kit at a time. We are also willing to help interested women and young girls learn how to sew. Every single dress and hygiene kit is important in the life of the girl that receives it. We welcome you with open hearts. Your donations are appreciated to fund this important ministry. We would love for you to join us.

We are privileged to partner with churches and ministries around the world as we joyfully obey Jesus’s command to make disciples of all nations. The work we do varies from country to country, but as we meet both physical and spiritual needs, we seek to do so with love, humility, and respect for in-country leaders and the host country’s culture.
We have sent teams to Russia, Guatemala, Haiti, and Ukraine, as well as other parts of the world.
