Samaritan's Purse goes to city slums, dense jungles, and other hard-to-reach areas where people may have never heard the life-saving message of Jesus Christ to deliver gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to boys and girls. For many of these children, this is their first gift ever! The toys and other fun items inside not only display God's great love to them and their families, but also open entire communities to the Gospel.
