Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, delivers shoeboxes filled with toys, hygiene items, and school supplies to children around the world (especially war, famine, and disaster areas), sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ, God’s Greatest Gift. Local Christians are trained and equipped to share the Gospel in a child-friendly way at outreach events where children receive a surprise shoebox gift along with The Greatest Gift booklet. Many participate in a 12-lesson discipleship program called The Greatest Journey, where children learn to follow Jesus and tell others about Him; they receive a New Testament in their own language. Evangelism and discipleship lead to multiplication of new believers and churches worldwide, even among previously unreached people. Hundreds of new churches are being planted each year as a result of Operation Christmas Child outreach events and discipleship.
