Operation Christmas Child

Delivering Great Joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ

“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Luke 2:10, ESV

We appreciate your interest in presenting Operation Christmas Child to your church or group. You’ll find resources here that will equip you to tell others about this amazing opportunity to bless children in need around the world with a gift-filled shoebox and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has provided an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift to more than 220 million children in over 170 countries and territories. Local ministry partners hand out these tangible expressions of God’s love at child-friendly, Gospel-focused outreach events. Afterward, many of the boys and girls are invited to attend The Greatest Journey discipleship program. Through 12 Bible lessons, children learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. They tell friends and family what they are learning, and more people put their faith in Christ—and go on to tell still others. Through these dynamic evangelism and discipleship efforts, believers and churches are multiplying!
