The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children around the world. Each shoebox, prayerfully packed full of gifts, is an opportunity for the Gospel to transform the life of a child, a family, and a community. Samaritan's Purse collects Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts and delivers them to children around the world through churches and other ministry partners in over 100 countries.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations."

MATTHEW 28:19
