Adryana had always wanted to be a missionary. The Floridian has inspired by her grandparents, who had served in South America for decades, and she dreamed of one day sharing the Gospel overseas.
Even as a 5 years old, Adryana learned that God had meaningful work for her in His Kingdom. She believed that providing gift-filled shoeboxes gives boys and girls provided them an opportunity to hear the Gospel—some for the first time.

Each year she increased her giving to the point that in the spring before her Senior year of high school, she set a goal of packing 1,000 boxes.

She organized bake sales and fundraisers to help cover the cost of the gift items and the $10 shipping donation per shoebox. She also hosted parties for neighbors, her parents’ church group, friends, and family to help her pack all those shoeboxes.

Despite being diagnosed with Bartonella (a tick-borne illness, also called Cat-Scratch fever) and later, also with Lyme disease, she was able to by National Collection Week, Adryana had raised more than $17,000 to cover the cost of shipping the 1,747 shoeboxes she had packed, and raised over $10,000 to send each recipient through The Greatest Journey discipleship classes.

Watch Adryana’s story of sharing the news of Jesus in her community and worldwide by the simple act of packing a shoebox full of items for a child.

National Collection Week is Nov 16–23, 2026

Despite an ongoing illness, Adryana Parris is sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ worldwide and in her community through Operation Christmas Child.

"Bless the LORD, O my soul."

“Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name.”

David isn't waiting to feel grateful. He's preaching to himself — taking hold of his own heart and calling it to remember, and then counting God's benefits one by one: He forgives all your sins. He heals and redeems and crowns you. He is "compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love." He has removed your transgressions "as far as the east is from the west." He pities you like a Father, because "he remembers that we are dust." And His mercy runs "from everlasting to everlasting."

This is a psalm for the forgetful heart — which is to say, for every one of us. When your heart is heavy or cold or forgetful, don't wait to feel it. Turn inward and command your own soul: bless the LORD, and forget not all His benefits.

Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has collected shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. Over the last 33 years, more than 244 million children in more than 175 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love. Tens of thousands of volunteers from local churches around the world partner with us to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ at festive outreach events where children are surprised with these shoebox gifts.

Simple gifts lovingly packed in a shoebox helped transform the lives of a boy from Nicaragua and a girl from Latvia.

“Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.

News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.) The disciples, as each one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea. This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.” Acts‬ ‭11‬:‭19‬-‭30‬ ‭NIV‬‬
