You will bless a child in

the Bahamas

The Bahamas consists of more than 700 islands in the Atlantic Ocean about 50 miles southeast of Florida. Its tropical climate, clear waters, and picturesque beaches attract tourists year-round. Samaritan’s Purse began distributing gift-filled shoeboxes in the Bahamas in 2011 and launched The Greatest Journey, our follow-up discipleship program, in 2012.

After Hurricane Dorian hit with winds as high as 185 mph on Sept. 1, 2019, Samaritan’s Purse immediately began providing emergency assistance on Grand Bahama and Abaco islands. Samaritan’s Purse has transported and distributed over 360 tons of relief supplies, as well as supplied over 4 million liters of clean water and cleared away more than 67,000 cubic yards of storm debris. Operation Christmas Child church partners have been instrumental in helping Samaritan’s Purse to identify families in need and to assist them in their continued recovery. In addition, to help the country recover from COVID-19 outbreaks in 2020, Samaritan's Purse set up an Emergency Field Hospital in Nassau.

Pray for Your Shoebox Recipient

Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”—Matthew 21:22

Please don’t stop praying for the boy or girl that you first lifted up when you packed your shoebox. Continue to ask God to soften his or her heart to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that he or she will follow Him all the days of their life. Pray also for families and entire communities to be transformed as God’s love is shared through your simple gift.

The Greatest Journey

After your shoebox gift delights a boy or girl, you can give them the opportunity to participate in The Greatest Journey.

Taught by trained local teachers, this 12-lesson discipleship program shows children how to follow Christ and share Him with others. As boys and girls share the Scripture stories they learn in class, their friends and family come to faith—growing churches, starting new congregations, and transforming communities by the power of the Gospel.
