You will bless a child in
Barbados
Barbados is located in the Caribbean Sea and is the easternmost island in the Lesser Antilles. Once the top sugar producer of the area, the island is currently known for its tourism. Operation Christmas Child began delivering shoebox gifts and offering our follow-up discipleship course, The Greatest Journey, to children here in 2015.
Read Stories from the Field
A ministry partner who hosted The Greatest Journey in Barbados writes, “It was rewarding to see the spiritual growth in the students and the eagerness with which they not only memorized the Word, but also put it into practice. It was a blessing to see two friends reunite after a serious fight in the community. The one who was hurt vowed never to forgive the one who hurt him. At the end of the Greatest Journey, they were friends again! God is good!”
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.
