Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child

“The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God’s desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, “Go and do likewise.” For over 40 years, Samaritan’s Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ’s command by going to the aid of the world’s poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.”

How We Got Involved

For the month of November, we decided to partner with Operation Christmas Child and fill shoeboxes for Christmas. These boxes get sent to over 100 different countries around the world for children who don’t have much. Once a child receives a shoebox, that is the only one they will receive in their lifetime. With the help of friends and family, we filled 16 shoeboxes! What a blessing it is to know that 16 more kiddos will have an extra reason to smile this holiday season. Big thanks to all who participated!
