Looking Back at 2022

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 Niger to Afghanistan and Yemen, 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 programme began. To God be all the glory!

Take a look at some of our photo highlights below and be encouraged by the incredible work you helped make possible.
