Together We Can Bless 12 Million Children

At Samaritan's Purse, we are gearing up for our busiest Christmas season ever. As God provides, we are ready to deliver Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts to 12 million children living in desperate circumstances in more than 100 countries around the world. Millions of these gifts will be collected and shipped through Samaritan's Purse offices in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as Christian partners in places from Germany to Japan. When Samaritan's Purse first launched this effort, I never dreamed that God would use it to touch so many children around the world.

For over 45 years, Samaritan's Purse has been working in the Name of Jesus Christ to help victims of disaster, disease, poverty, famine, and war. As we meet their most urgent needs, we want to tell them about God's great love and His greatest gift: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

I'm sending this email to give you a glimpse of what God is doing through Samaritan's Purse and our offices around the world. Thank you for your prayers and support. May God richly bless you.

Sincerely,

Franklin Graham
President, Samaritan's Purse
