Operation Christmas Child, a project by Samaritan’s Purse, has been partnering with local churches in more than 160 countries and territories for the past 30 years to deliver shoebox gifts to boys and girls in need, while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Individuals and churches fill these shoeboxes with essential hygiene items, comfort items, and small gifts for distribution to children in need. For many, it’s a priceless treasure they eagerly anticipate.

Verse of the Day

“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”

Luke 2:16-20
