Prayer Resources
Prayer Is Vital to the Ministry of Samaritan’s Purse
At Samaritan’s Purse, we believe that God hears and answers prayer in ways beyond what we could ask or imagine. Our founder Bob Pierce encouraged us to plan for “God room” in all we do, so that in humanly impossible situations, He can meet the vast needs of the hurting people He’s called us to serve. The Lord invites us to bring our requests to Him, our gracious Heavenly Father, knowing that He will respond with what is good.
“Prayer isn’t a perfunctory thing like a footnote in a book; prayer is our essential lifeline to God’s throne and heart.”
Please pray for …
timely access to difficult places when seconds count to save lives and reduce suffering.
the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to be proclaimed as we provide physical relief in His Name.
God to provide the people and resources we need to accomplish our mission of helping the hurting.

"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him”.

Plane Hijacked in Africa: The Pilot’s Story
EN EL LUGAR: When someone put a gun in his face, a pilot named Jim had a choice—he could either let fear take over or he could trust Jesus with his life. As Jim’s plane was hijacked in Africa, the Lord brought Scriptures back to his mind and reminded him that there is power in the Name of Jesus. Hear from Jim Streit, who was in the air, and from Matt Olson, who was on the ground in North Carolina, about how God came through in a mighty way.
