You will bless a child in
Burkina Faso
Located in West Africa, Burkina Faso is home to a large rural population that is known to be honest. This fits well since the country’s name means “Land of Incorruptible People.” Samaritan’s Purse started delivering Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts to children here in 1999 and by 2011 began offering them The Greatest Journey, our follow-up discipleship course, that teaches boys and girls how to follow Christ and share Him with others.

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.
La Gran Aventura
After your shoebox gift delights a boy or girl, you can give them the opportunity to participate in La Gran Aventura.
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.
