Your faithful giving to Samaritan’s Purse this #GivingTuesday can save and change lives by helping us provide for critical needs all over the world. Here are some of the ways you can help support our work and make a difference for eternity!
1. Care for Mothers and Babies
Your gift will help us operate birthing centers, educate women on nutrition, make home visits, and meet other urgent needs. As our Christian workers build relationships with these young families, God gives us opportunities to share the wonderful truth about Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Due to local traditions, some mothers around the world feed their infants sugar water or other combinations of food that lack proper nutritional value. Samaritan’s Purse is educating these women on how to feed their babies in a way that will cause them to grow up healthy and strong. Your gift of $75 can help save the lives of mothers and their children by providing education and supplemental food to those in need.
2. Provide Lifesaving Medical Equipment
A patient had stopped breathing. With no time to spare, the surgeon on duty searched through the supply room at Nyankunde Hospital. Then he remembered that Samaritan’s Purse had recently sent two ventilators to the facility in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our teams refurbish donated equipment and ship it to our partner hospitals all over the globe. Without it, the patient wouldn’t have survived. Your gift helps ship medical equipment and supplies to mission hospitals, saving lives and sharing about the Great Physician.Your gift will equip our medical teams to respond by saving lives and sharing the hope of the Gospel.
3. Care for Desperate Refugees
Families fleeing from violence or famine often cross borders seeking safety and shelter, and find themselves strangers in foreign lands—hungry, thirsty, and in need of refuge. Samaritan’s Purse is offering compassionate care for these refugees by providing food, water, shelter, and other lifesaving essentials. Your gift can help provide basic necessities for a refugee family, offering a tangible expression of Christ’s love in the midst of upheaval and uncertainty.
4. Provide for Clean Water Projects
When Hurricane Dorian struck the Bahamas, many freshwater wells were contaminated by the massive storm surge. Families had no access to well water, and no financial means with which to buy bottled water. Samaritan’s Purse set up community filtration systems, creating access to safe drinking water and opportunities to share the Gospel. Your gift will help us bring water access to communities hard-hit by disaster, or villages where clean water is always hard to come by. Your gift also makes it possible for us to install water filters, build rainwater collection systems, protect springs, construct latrines, teach hygiene, or meet similar needs in the Name of Jesus.
5. Hot Meals for a Child
Few things nourish the body and soul like a hearty bowl of soup or a steaming plate of meat and veggies. Samaritan’s Purse supports feeding programs in churches, schools, and Christian ministries around the world so that children from poor communities can enjoy a healthy meal. For many of them, it may be the only food they eat all day. For just $7, you can provide a week’s worth of hot meals for a child, creating opportunities to share Jesus, the Bread of Life.
6. Give a Copy of God’s Word
Scripture nourishes our souls, even in the hardest of times. God called the prophet Jeremiah to preach His truth to those who would not listen. Despite the lack of repentance he witnessed among the people of Judah, the prophet proclaimed, “Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart” (Jeremiah 15:16). Your gift of $15 can provide a Bible or other Christian literature to believers in difficult places.
7. Mend a Child’s Heart
Through our Children’s Heart Project, Samaritan’s Purse brings children to one of our partner hospitals in North America where specialists repair their heart defect. Since 1997, we have arranged operations for children in countries where the procedures aren’t available. Your gift will help cover the cost of airfare so a child can have life-saving surgery and hear about Jesus, “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
