Hearts Healed
Lives Transformed

The Samaritan’s Purse Children’s Heart Project brings lifesaving cardiac surgery to boys and girls living in countries that do not have the medical facilities or the expertise to perform such complex procedures.

We transport the child along with a parent or guardian to North America—where they stay with a Christian host family—and then undergo an operation donated by a local hospital.

Our teams share the Good News of the Gospel with these children and their family members, and many have come to faith in Jesus Christ.

In total, more than 1,300 children from 16 different countries have received heart surgeries through the project since its start in 1997.

More than 400 children from Mongolia alone have had operations. We thank God for working in the lives of patients like Miigaa y Bat-Ulzii, who both experienced physical and spiritual transformation and now serve the Lord in Mongolia.
