WHAT ARE LIVE OAK’S FALL GIVING INITIATIVES?
Live Oak seeks to be generous and “others” focused year round. Every Fall we amp up this effort by challenging you to participate in our FALL GIVING INITIATIVES.
- These are very tangible, practical ways to love and reach out to those in need.
- This is giving above and beyond our normal tithing.
- We will impact those in need both near and far!
FINAL TURN IN DATE:
SUNDAY, NOV 24!!
We’d love to have them by Nov. 17 so we can pray over them at WORSHIP NIGHT
GIVE FAQs
1. I don’t attend on Sundays but want to get a box or a bag. How do I do that?
Email us ([email protected]) and we will arrange to leave what you need on our porch. Keep in mind, that with the Lubbock Impact Hygiene Kits we have a limited supply.
2. Can I return my box or bag prior to Nov. 24th?
You sure can! You can bring your filled bags and boxes on the Sundays leading up to Nov. 17th. If you need to leave yours on our porch during the week feel free to! Just note that we have Fridays off and if you leave it on a Friday it will be sitting there until Sunday morning.
3. I am providing my own shoe box. How do I get an instruction sheet for how to pack it?
Head HERE. Here you will find everything you need to know to get a box all packed up!
4. I won’t be here on Nov. 24 to turn my items in. What do I do?
Bring them early on another Sunday, leave on our porch (see #2) or email us to arrange an alternate plan at [email protected]
5. Is it ok for my Operation Christmas Box to be so full it can’t be closed?
We ultimately transport boxes to another church, who then get them shipped to Dallas, where they will be sent all over the world. Boxes that won’t close make transport impossible so please make sure your does close, even if that means removing items from it.
6. Why can’t I use my own bag to make a hygiene kit for Lubbock Impact?
We can only bring a certain number of bags to Lubbock Impact simply bc they have limited storage. So we ask you to only fill the bags we provide. These are first come, first served.

HYGIENE KITS FOR LUBBOCK IMPACT
Support the feet-on-the ground ministry at Lubbock Impact!
Pack a bag with hygiene essentials. These will be given to those living in economic hardship in the Lubbock community who are served by Lubbock Impact and will contain self care items that many of us take for granted.
Please use only the bags provided by Live Oak (beginning October 27 – first come, first served), as Lubbock Impact can only receive a set # of bags, due to storage limitations. Lists of items to purchase are attached to the bags themselves.

FAITH COMES BY HEARING
Support the ministry of Faith Comes by Hearing whose goal is to work in partnership to see that the Word of God is recorded and freely provided in every language that needs it by the year 2033.
They work to create audio bibles in heart languages all over the world…
- Currently there are over 7,100 languages in the world. 50% of people can’t read at a functional level.
- Faith Comes By Hearing’s Audio Bibles are freely available and used in a variety of formats. People engage with God’s Word through solar-powered devices in a listening group, streamed online, or personally on their phone via the Bible.is app or a Micro SD card. Through regular listening to God’s audible Word, individuals are impacted, families are revived, and communities are transformed.
