Operation Christmas Child - a Ministry of Samaritan's Purse
Operation Christmas Child | Shoebox Outreach of Samaritan’s Purse
The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God’s desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, “Go and do likewise.” For over 50 years, Samaritan’s Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ’s command by going to the aid of the world’s poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Our involvement with Operation Christmas Child began a few years ago when we decided that we were going to pack shoeboxes to send to children around the world. But it's not as much about the shoeboxes as it is about the opportunity for these children to hear about the Gospel in their own language through The Greatest Journey, a 12-lesson discipleship course offered to each Operation Christmas Child shoebox recipient. We're excited to be a part of this important ministry and our goal for 2026 is to pack 100 shoeboxes.
