De nuevo en casa en el condado de Buncombe
When Hurricane Helene tore through western North Carolina last September, the raging storm uprooted trees near Norberto Pizarro’s Buncombe County home and flung them onto his house, splitting it in two.

Colaboramos con las iglesias para ayudar a Jamaica
Pastor Erroll Bennett joyfully filled his van with supplies from Samaritan’s Purse as he described the vast need among suffering people in his community. “Even if people at the moment have money, they could not buy anything, so we are totally dependent on the assistance given by others on the outside,” he said. “All around…
Respondemos a las inundaciones históricas en Washington
Days of torrential rain in northwest Washington state have swollen a number of tributaries and rivers across the region, triggering massive floods that have deluged entire neighborhoods and stranded families on rooftops.

Cosechamos los frutos de semillas de fidelidad
Nyamal* has always understood the value of a seed. Her parents and grandparents were farmers, much like the other families in her South Sudanese community, who passed down knowledge from the generations before them. She knew how to preserve seeds, prepare the land to sow, and care for her crops with an expectant hope for…
Samaritan's Purse dedica una nueva casa a un residente de Carolina del Norte
Brian Baker’s simple lifestyle surrounded by woodland solitude in western North Carolina was suddenly interrupted when aggressive wind and rain began pounding his tent walls. His home of 15 years–a traditional yurt measuring 27 feet in diameter–was not built to withstand wind speeds of over 100 mph. “I have experienced a couple of major floods,…
Mongolia
Mongolia is located in northern Asia between Russia and China. Its pasturelands make livestock herding a common occupation. A traditional Mongolian dwelling is called a ger (yurt), a circular tent-like structure made of wood and canvas. Samaritan’s Purse began distributing gift-filled shoeboxes there in 1996 and launched The Greatest Journey, our follow-up discipleship program, in…
