You will bless a child in

Trinidad & Tobago

Trinidad & Tobago is a multi-island country in the West Indies close to South America. Named after its two main islands, the country also contains several smaller islands. Sugarcane is the country’s main crop. Samaritan’s Purse began distributing gift-filled shoeboxes there in 2001 and launched The Greatest Journey, our follow-up discipleship program, in this nation in 2010.

Read Stories from the Field

After a shoebox distribution in Trinidad and Tobago, parents as well as children were interested in learning more about Jesus. So, local believers rented a vacant piece of land to hold church services. The services grew from one to three times a week. A church was planted there that continues to share the Word of God in its community.

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.
