Milestone for Mekoryuk
A new church is rising on Nunivak Island, Alaska. Meet some of the Christian elders in the village of Mekoryuk.
September 9, 2024
It’s never been an easy feat to construct a large building on Nunivak Island, Alaska. It still isn’t. That’s why this year’s work on the new Mekoryuk Covenant Church—which will be completed by Samaritan’s Purse volunteers over four months—is such a milestone for the Native Alaskan community. Before planes, the Bering Sea’s shallow and shifting currents surrounding the island proved daunting to larger oceangoing vessels. Nunivak’s first trading post was established quite late in its … [Read more...]

All of this, however, is impossible without the committed support of our volunteers and church partners. Whether you tarped a roof, put a chainsaw to a fallen tree, or comforted a homeowner during … [Read more...]
Bringing Life-Saving Training to Vietnam’s Highlands
Samaritan’s Purse is educating local midwives in rural Vietnam on how to care for young mothers.
April 4, 2024
Pregnant mothers in the remote mountains of Vietnam face many challenges when giving birth and caring for their newborn children. Clinics are often located far from these mothers, and many women are not familiar with seeking out medical attention during and after pregnancy. Many choose to give birth at home, which can in some cases be dangerous, particularly if they have not seen a medical specialist earlier. Limited maternal health care services and lack of medical education can make childbirth … [Read more...]

Church Construction Nearing Completion in Koyuk, Alaska
Samaritan’s Purse staff and volunteers are ministering to the remote village’s residents in many ways, opening up opportunities to point people to Jesus Christ.
September 4, 2023
Freezing and thawing had torn apart the church building’s foundation. Part of the ceiling was collapsing. There were gaps in the floor. It took at least a day—usually longer—to heat the building, at significant cost, so midweek events were held elsewhere. On winter Sundays, even with the heat on, it was sometimes still so cold inside you could see your breath. “Well, we didn’t feel good at all about it,” said Don Cross, pastor of the Covenant Church in remote Koyuk, Alaska. “It wasn’t safe. … [Read more...]
