OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

SHOEBOX GIFT RECEIVING COUNTRIES

For 28 years, Samaritan’s Purse has been bringing great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to millions of children
across the globe through its Operation Christmas Child project. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the
first gift they have ever received.

Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches worldwide to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need
and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has collected and delivered over 188 million
shoebox gifts to children in more than 170 countries and territories, many of which are listed below:*
