Take Their Journey
Millions of boys and girls in more than 100 countries around the world are participating in The Greatest Journey—our follow-up discipleship program for children who receive Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. Now, Hispanic children in the U.S. can go through these same 12 discipleship lessons, and then participate in giving other children around the world the same opportunity.
Learn MoreGospel-Centered
Children who participate will hear the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ, learn to actively follow Him day by day, and discover how to share their faith with others. Then the program equips them to help fulfill the Great Commission by packing an Operation Christmas Child shoebox to send the same discipleship they have received through The Greatest Journey to another child around the world.
God is using The Greatest Journey to raise up an army of young evangelists around the world to transform entire communities through the Gospel. Your church can join in this exciting program and see little ones reaching out for Christ in your area and around the world!
