About Us
About Us: Three Decades of Serving Ministry Excellence
When Operation Christmas Child began touching hearts around the world, we were already deep into our manufacturing journey. For over 30 years, we've been perfecting the art of creating products that matter—first in traditional markets, then discovering our true calling in serving the unique needs of OCC ministries.
The Discovery That Changed Everything
Our transformation began when we started hearing stories from the field. Missionaries shared how children's faces lit up when they received quality gifts—and how those same faces fell when inferior products failed within days. We realized that Operation Christmas Child wasn't just another market; it was a sacred trust requiring a completely different approach to manufacturing and sourcing.
That realization led us to develop something unprecedented in the industry: a comprehensive understanding of what OCC gifts truly need to accomplish.
Our Unique Manufacturing Foundation
Unlike companies that simply purchase and resell products, we maintain extensive manufacturing capabilities paired with a dedicated overseas office focused exclusively on sourcing and quality control. This dual approach creates advantages that directly benefit every ministry we serve.
Our manufacturing experience spans three decades of understanding materials, construction techniques, and real-world performance demands. When we design a soccer ball for Operation Christmas Child, we're drawing on years of knowledge about what works, what doesn't, and how to build products that truly serve their intended purpose.
The OCC-Specific Difference
Through our dedicated overseas office, we've developed relationships with certified material suppliers who understand that OCC gifts face unique challenges: international shipping across multiple climates, children who may have never owned a toy before, and remote locations with no access to replacement parts or repairs.
This understanding drives every product decision we make. We don't start with existing products and hope they work for OCC. Instead, we research the specific needs of Operation Christmas Child recipients, then engineer solutions that address those exact requirements.
Our Three-Phase Excellence Process
Every item in our catalog undergoes rigorous development designed specifically for the OCC mission:
Research Phase: We study the unique requirements of OCC gifts—from climate considerations to cultural appropriateness to size constraints that are non-negotiable for shoebox packing.
Testing Phase: Products undergo extensive quality and safety testing that goes far beyond typical retail standards. We test for durability under extreme conditions, child safety compliance, functional reliability, and material integrity.
Optimization Phase: The final phase ensures every item maximizes both space efficiency and impact through actual packing scenarios with real OCC shoeboxes.
Quality That Honors the Mission
Our "ministry-grade" quality standards ensure that when a child receives their gift, it works perfectly from day one and continues working for years to come. Whether it's a soccer ball that maintains proper bounce and air retention, or a plush animal built to withstand both shipping stress and enthusiastic play, every product represents the excellence and intentionality of God's love.
Serving Faithful Stewards
We understand that ministry leaders wear many hats and manage careful budgets. Our streamlined operations—eliminating multiple middlemen through direct manufacturing relationships—allow us to offer premium quality at prices that honor faithful stewardship.
When pastors and ministry coordinators choose our products, they're not just purchasing gifts; they're partnering with a team that shares their heart for excellence in serving precious children around the world.
More Than Manufacturing
After three decades in this industry, we've learned that true value isn't about finding the cheapest option—it's about finding the perfect balance of quality, price, and purpose. Our extensive manufacturing capabilities and dedicated overseas operations exist for one reason: to ensure that faithful OCC packers can focus on what matters most—sharing God's love—while trusting that the products they send truly honor both their stewardship and the precious children receiving them.
Our Commitment to You
Every soccer ball, plush animal, and gift item we create carries the weight of this mission. When you choose our products, you're choosing a heritage of manufacturing excellence specifically applied to serve the sacred trust of Operation Christmas Child.
Because after 30 years of experience, we believe that every child deserves gifts that reflect the intentional love and careful planning that went into choosing them.
