Samaritan’s Purse: Offering Aid in Jesus’ Name

Guided by the biblical story of the Good Samaritan, Samaritan’s Purse serves as a lifeline to people suffering from war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine. Whether responding to international humanitarian crises, deploying U.S. disaster relief teams, or delivering medical missions, their work embodies the love of Christ. Their Operation Christmas Child initiative, which LCC has actively supported, shares the joy of the gospel with millions of children through simple, gift-filled shoeboxes. Recently, Samaritan’s Purse has been on the ground assisting hurricane survivors, ensuring that those affected have food, clean water, and the support they need to rebuild.

Convoy of Hope: Feeding the World, Restoring Lives

Their mission is simple: to feed the hungry, equip the vulnerable, and bring hope where it’s needed most. Through financial contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund, Convoy of Hope provides food, water, and essential supplies to communities devastated by disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. Their teams respond quickly in crisis situations, making a real difference in people’s lives when they need it most.

Operation Blessing: Disaster Relief and Beyond

For over 40 years, Operation Blessing has been providing relief to people facing hardship across the U.S. and around the world. Their impact spans disaster relief, hunger relief, medical care, and clean water projects.
