The Power of a Simple Gift Box
Operation Christmas Child demonstrates God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, and help children grow in their faith.
Gift boxes carefully packed by individuals or groups in collecting countries are later distributed to children through outreach events organized by local churches in receiving countries. After children receive the gift boxes, they are invited back to participate in a 12-lesson discipleship program called "The Greatest Journey,” where they learn to follow Jesus and tell others about Him.
Through Operation Christmas Child,
the Gospel is going to places where the name of Jesus has never been heard!
