Samaritans Purse-World Medical Missions





This last year World Medical Missions, a branch of Samaritan's Purse helped us logistically as our sending organization.

Take a look at the website. I highly encourage you to view some of their video clips.  It will help paint a picture of what it is like serving overseas, the world-wide needs people have for health care and hearing the gospel.

Here is a piece on the post-residency program which is available to residents willing to commit to two years of service.  We worked with a number of families serving through this program:

About Samaritan's Purse:
The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God's desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, "Go and do likewise."

For over 40 years, Samaritan's Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ's command by going to the aid of the world's poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.


Mission Statement:
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.
