December 14-16 Operation Compassion delivered a semi of toys, stocking
stuffers, candy, chips, cookies and beverages for 4 Christmas parties
for children. The Hispanic Church of God in New York City hosted
the parties in conjunction with various police precincts.
Pastor Angel & Carmen Rodriguez, of the 6th Street Church of
God, partnered with the 7th Precinct of the New York City Police
Department to host a party attended by more than 4,000 children
who all received toys.
Pastor Hector Chisea, of the 3rd Avenue Church of God, networked
with the 44th Precinct of the NYC Police Department and provided
the gifts for the children of the Bronx. This precinct exists in
one of the most difficult areas of America. The one square mile
the 44th precinct covers is the poorest area of New York City, the
highest crime of New York City, and one of the busiest police precincts
in the entire world.
