A message of hope, forged in real-life transformation.
Susie Y. Jennings — registered nurse, widow, author, speaker, and founder of Operation Care International — brings a voice hard-won through 20+ years of service and a ministry that spans 18+ countries.
What began with blankets on Dallas streets grew into the nation's largest Christmas party for the homeless — and a message now carried to audiences around the world.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
From the streets of Dallas to 18+ countries around the world, Susie's message of hope has transformed lives across cultures and continents.
In 1993, tragedy changed Susie Jennings's life. What followed has changed thousands more.
Known on Dallas streets as "The Blanket Lady," Susie's obedience to a whisper from God grew into Operation Care International — a ministry that now hosts the nation's largest Christmas party for the homeless and carries the Gospel across 18+ countries.
Her testimony is not theory. It was forged through real loss, a quiet obedience in the moments no one was watching, and a God who kept proving Himself faithful on every new mission field — from Dallas shelters to Kenyan orphanages to Filipino street corners.
