help children around the world learn about Jesus
“Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:1
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world.
Every year Samaritan’s Purse collects shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. Since 1993, more than 220 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox.
Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations. Children who wish can enroll in a 12-lesson program to learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. More than 20.2 million of these boys and girls have made a decision to accept Jesus as their Savior during the course.
