What is Operation Christmas Child?

Operation Christmas Child is an initiative of Samaritan's Purse. Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desparate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God's love. This unique project of Samaritan's Purse provides an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions outreach while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas - Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. Along with shoe box gifts, millions of children are given Gospel booklets in their own language. Last year, Samaritan's Purse collected over 7.6 million shoe box gifts worldwide and distributed them to children in 95 countries.
