We praise God for what He has done through Samaritan's Purse in 2022!
We ministered to desperate people around the world to bring relief from violent conflict, natural disasters, disease, poverty, and many other difficulties. From Ukraine and Namibia to Puerto Rico and across the United States, we responded in Jesus' Name whenever there was a need and shared the hope found only in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We also celebrated the 200 millionth shoebox gift collected since the program began in 1993. To God be all the glory!
