You will bless a child in

Filipinas

The Philippines is a country located in Southeast Asia that consists of hundreds of islands, with coastlines totaling more than 22,000 miles. Named after Philip II of Spain, it was under Spanish rule for more than 300 years before becoming a U.S. commonwealth and then an independent country. Samaritan’s Purse began distributing gift-filled shoeboxes there in 1999 and launched The Greatest Journey, our follow-up discipleship program, in this nation in 2010.

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 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.
