Project Help-a-child is an annual program that we sponsor at Christmas for the needy children of our local area. This project is designed for children 2 to 14 years old. The only qualification is for parents or guardians to come to the ministry office and register their child/children. On the 2nd Sunday afternoon of December, the children come and bring their families. This ministry involves a drive-in presentation of the birth of Jesus Christ and the Christmas story is presented in English and Spanish. At the conclusion of the presentation, each family drives by and their children each receive a gift bag with assorted age-appropriate gifts and a Bible included in each bag. Refreshments are served for everyone. Many churches and individuals enjoy serving as volunteers.
How can you help?
Financial contributions are the best way to help.
Volunteers are needed the week before the program to help prepare gift bags.

In the last 20+ years, Because He Lives Ministries has sent numerous mission teams to Kentucky. We have been involved in a variety of mission projects in the state of Kentucky, offering support in the areas of providing household goods, working on construction projects, conducting VBS/Backyard Bible Clubs, clean-up and recovery after the most recent floods, chaplaincy services, as well as providing financial assistance.
BHL sent a small missions team to Kentucky in November 2023. If you are interested in potentially participating in a short-term missions trip to Kentucky, please let us know.
***KENTUCKY MISSIONS - 2024***
Would you be interested in a Christ-centered, life-changing, short-term mission trip to the state of Kentucky with Because He Lives Ministries Inc.? We will be serving in the areas of the state of Kentucky, including Whitesburg and Fleming-Neon, Kentucky and will, of course, be sharing the Good News of the gospel and the love of Jesus wherever we go! These areas were dramatically affected by devastating flooding in July 2022. We will be working on an assortment of projects from light construction, painting, clean-up, yard work, and open to whatever God prepares for us! We are looking forward to meeting some wonderful people and allowing God to direct our steps!
This trip is currently in the planning stages and details will be added as they develop. This will be a unique opportunity for us to share the incredible love of God with others! Will you prayerfully consider joining us during this week? Or, if you are unable to go, would you pray for us and consider giving a donation in order to provide materials for others to go and help?

Because He Lives Ministries serves as the local coordinator and central drop-off center for Operation Christmas Child. We fill 500+ shoe boxes each year with gifts and goodies. Many individuals, churches, and organizations also fill boxes and send them to us. We pack the shoe boxes into cartons, load them on a semi trailer, and ship them to the Operation Christmas Child Processing Center in Atlanta.
For Christmas 2023, we sent 13,746 shoe boxes to Atlanta to be distributed to poor and needy children all around the world.
What You Can Do:
Get involved with Operation Christmas Child. Participate in this project by saving your shoe boxes and filling them for needy boys and girls. Volunteers are always needed at Because He Lives Ministries during the months of September and October to help wrap and pack shoe boxes.
Try to get others involved with Operation Christmas Child. Promote this project by telling others about it. This is a great project for all ages and all group sizes. Share it with your church, school, clubs, or other organizations.
Pray for Operation Christmas Child. Pray for the children who will be receiving the shoe boxes. Pray that through the shoe boxes, they will realize that there is a God that loves them. Pray for the safety of the boxes. Pray for Samaritan’s Purse and for Because He Lives Ministries.
ITEMS TO INCLUDE: Start with a quality "wow" item such as a stuffed animal, soccer ball with pump, or clothing outfit that will capture the child's attention. Other gift items may include fun toys, hygiene items, school supplies...
DO NOT INCLUDE: toothpaste, gum, used or damaged items, liquids or lotions, food items, medications, breakable items, class containers, aerosol cans, scary or war-related items.
Donate $10 Per Shoebox. A donation of $10 per box is critical for Operation Christmas Child. Your $10 gift per shoebox provides for:
*Collection and Processing at one of eight processing centers around the country where thousands of volunteers inspect and prepare each shoebox for international shipment.
*Shipping to over 170 countries of the world. Ships, trucks, and airplanes transport millions of shoeboxes to the countries where they will be distributed. Once there, local churches use many modes of transportation to get them to children in need as a tangible expression of God's love.
*Gospel Materials. Your $10 donation for each shoebox provides The Greatest Gift Gospel Booklets, which are written in the children's language and distributed along with the shoebox gifts.
National Collection Week for OCC is November 13-20, 2023. Take your shoe box gift(s) to a local drop-off location during this week!
