About Samaritan's Purse UK

Samaritan's Purse is a non-denominational evangelical Christian organisation providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world in Jesus' Name.

Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet the needs of victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organisation serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Key projects include International Disaster Relief, Operation Christmas Child, Clean Water, Women at Risk, Medical Ministries, and Livelihoods.

The ministry is unapologetically focused on proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ - first, last, and always.

🎁 Shoebox Rally for the Persecuted Church - LIVE APPEAL

In many parts of the world, Christians face persecution and cannot worship freely. Yet through your prayers and generosity, the light of Christ still shines. Through Operation Christmas Child, Samaritan's Purse delivers millions of gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need each year. This Christmas, join our Shoebox Rally for the Persecuted Church - a special campaign sending pre-packed shoeboxes to children in the Middle East and West Africa who may never have heard of Jesus. Each £25 donation sends one gift, sharing God's love and the hope of the Gospel. Join us from 17 November to help fill a container of shoeboxes, bringing Good News and great joy where it's needed most.

🚨 Hurricane Melissa Response - LIVE APPEAL

After Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica, Samaritan's Purse airlifted an Emergency Field Hospital and over 90 metric tonnes of aid to the island. Our teams are serving in Black River, where the local hospital was completely destroyed, providing urgent medical care, clean water, and shelter materials. Using our cargo planes and helicopters, we continue to deliver relief and share God's love with families in crisis. Please pray for the people of Jamaica and our teams as we serve in Jesus' Name.

🎁 Operation Christmas Child - LIVE APPEAL

Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritans Purse, shares God's love with children in need through gift-filled shoeboxes. Each shoebox packed with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items is a powerful tool for the Gospel. Last year, 3.2 million children made first-time decisions for Christ after receiving a shoebox and joining The Greatest Journey discipleship course. In 2025, you can help bring joy and hope to children in some of the hardest-to-reach places, including countries where the Church faces persecution. Pack and pray over a shoebox today or build one online and be part of reaching the young lives with great joy and the Good News of Jesus.

🚨 Gaza Crisis Relief - LIVE APPEAL

We are responding to urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza and Israel as families recover from conflict. With much of Gaza in ruins, we have delivered over 200 tonnes of supplemental food on 12 relief flights and distributed more than one million nutrition packets to vulnerable women and children. Our medical teams have treated over 1,400 patients, and we are providing family tents and emergency supplies to those left homeless. As the ceasefire allows greater access, our teams continue to expand relief efforts, offering life-saving aid and hope to those in desperate need.
