On this episode of ELTV,
When disaster strikes on the national or international level, one ministry is ready to respond with boots on the ground. Their mission: to provide both physical and spiritual aid to people in need, such as victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease and famine, sharing the hope and love of God through His son Jesus Christ.

Samaritan's Purse led by president and CEO, Franklin Graham does just that. On this program, will highlight two key parts of this ministry, 1) Operation Christmas child, and 2) Disaster response.

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 50 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.

As our teams work in crisis areas of the world, people often ask, “Why did you come?” The answer is always the same: “We have come to help you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Our ministry is all about Jesus—first, last, and always. As the Apostle Paul said, “For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake” (2 Corinthians 4:5, NIV).
