Out-Of-Town OCC (Operation Christmas Child) Discipleship Conferences

Samaritan’s Purse carefully trains all of its Operation Christmas Child (OCC) state teams in Mexico so that we, in turn, can train the participating churches to disciple our nation’s children in the truth of the Gospel.

I attended a three-day training session in the city of Toluca, four hours away from our home in Tlaxcala.  Two new volunteers to OCC from our state joined me for the training.  As always,

I return home from these sessions even more passionate about this ministry which provides materials for children’s ministry, and allows me the privilege of training churches to evangelize and disciple children around them (fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ!). 

Besides the other two Tlaxcala women, Asher Obed also joined me during the three day trip.  At only 6

weeks old, Asher is already being trained in children’s ministry J.  He was such a quiet, well-behaved baby during all the conferences, and was loved by all the OCC team.
