Operation Kindness Care Packages

Purpose:  To reach others for Christ by sending care packages which include a gospel message to troops who are deployed


The most volunteer intensive activity within the Military Ministry.  Volunteers typically pack 50-60 boxes (30 lbs each) containing bibles/spiritual material, toiletries, socks, coffee, snacks, sports equipment, personal notes, etc. for our deployed service members.  The care packages are sent to chaplain contacts who use them in their ministry to service members in more remote areas of Afghanistan. 

Packing Team Stats:
 - 600+ BOXES sent in 2012;  5000+ BOXES sent to date
