A simple shoebox. A life forever changed.

In this must-see episode of The Clark Report, we talk with Izabella McMillon of Samaritan's Purse, who received one of their beloved shoebox gifts as a child. It's an encounter that marked a turning point in her life and faith.

Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, collects gift-filled shoeboxes packed with toys, school supplies, and personal care items, delivering them to children in need around the world.

Since 1993, more than 232 million of these gifts have been delivered to children in over 170 countries and territories, each one offering a tangible expression of God’s love—and often it's the very first gift a child has ever received!

In this conversation you’ll hear:

✨ Izabella's powerful story of receiving a shoebox gift as a child

✨ How God used that simple gesture to plant hope, identity, and faith

✨ What happens behind the scenes—from packing to delivery

✨ How you, your family, or your church can make an eternal impact this year and beyond
