operation christmas child
The mission of Operation Christmas Child, an outreach of Samaritan’s Purse, is to spread the love of God in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Individuals pack shoeboxes with simple gifts, which are then distributed to millions of children worldwide. While sharing love through the giving of gifts is powerful on its own, the work doesn’t stop there. Every child who receives a box is invited to participate in a discipleship program called The Greatest Journey. If you’d like more info on how to participate, click on the link below
Thanksgiving Baskets
Each Thanksgiving season, we have the wonderful opportunity to bless families in our community with a Thanksgiving basket filled with all of the “fixings.” Families who could use help purchasing Thanksgiving dinner for their families sign up or are nominated by a friend or family member. Then, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we gather as a church to assemble and deliver the baskets, taking the opportunity to pray with and over each family.

$15,500 in relief efforts
On February 28, 2022, Russia invaded its neighbor Ukraine and a new war began in the world. On March 13, Awaken Church collected donations to help the Ukrainian people. Through the generosity of our Awaken Church family, we were able to send $15,500 to relief efforts in the region; $4,000 was sent to Firm Foundations Romania and $11,500 was sent to Convoy of Hope.
Firm Foundations Romania is a non-profit organization located in central Romania whose mission is to support and assist orphaned and disadvantaged children with love, care, education and the Gospel. With Romania being just south of the Ukrainian border, it is one of the main countries that refugees are fleeing to. Firm Foundations Romania is reaching out to help with the relief efforts for to their neighbors to the north as they flee the war.
