NOTE — THIS VERY SPECIAL REPORT ABOUT SAMARITAN’S PURSE …
In 1993, Franklin Graham was asked if his group would fill shoe boxes for war-torn Bosnia. It wasn’t long after that, he was asked if Samaritan’s Purse would take over the Shoe Box program. He had no idea how God was going to use the program worldwide. Since 1993, 220 million shoe boxes have been distributed in more than 170 countries and territories.
In 2023, 11.3 million shoe boxes were packed by people from 11 countries. 5.1 million children participated in “The Great Journey” study course. 2.9 million decisions were made for Christ.
I’m so glad that Jubilee participates in the shoe box ministry, plus we have given several thousand dollars extra for critical needs.
Pastor Leonard
