Operation Christmas Child sends shoebox gifts and shares the gospel with children in need all over the world. Each box is also a discipleship opportunity as shoebox recipients are connected with local churches and invited to participate in a 12-lesson discipleship program (The Greatest Journey). When the children complete the program they receive a Bible in their own language! For more information on how to pack a shoebox gift, please go to samaritanspurse.org/occ.
