Who We Are

Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our International Health Forum provides relevant information to medical personnel and students with practical interests in disaster medicine, international public health, missionary medicine, and more. We also host a live webinar each month featuring guests who specialize in their field.
