You will bless a child in
Ukraine
Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It is the second largest country in Europe after Russia and is known for its agricultural production. Samaritan’s Purse began distributing gift-filled shoeboxes there in 1996 and launched The Greatest Journey, our follow-up discipleship program, in this nation in 2010.
Samaritan’s Purse has also been actively providing food, clean water, and medical care the people of Ukraine since conflict broke out in February 2022. Much of this relief is being carried out together with our network of Operation Christmas Child partner churches. Praise God that we continue to host outreach events for children here and pray with us that the fighting will end soon. Read the latest updates about our work in this war-torn nation.

Pray for Your Shoebox Recipient
“Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”—Matthew 21:22
Please don’t stop praying for the boy or girl that you first lifted up when you packed your shoebox. Continue to ask God to soften his or her heart to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that he or she will follow Him all the days of their life. Pray also for families and entire communities to be transformed as God’s love is shared through your simple gift.
The Greatest Journey
After your shoebox gift delights a boy or girl, you can give them the opportunity to participate in The Greatest Journey.
Taught by trained local teachers, this 12-lesson discipleship program shows children how to follow Christ and share Him with others. As boys and girls share the Scripture stories they learn in class, their friends and family come to faith—growing churches, starting new congregations, and transforming communities by the power of the Gospel.
