“Silence will no longer be a barrier.” 💙

In Gabon, parents who could not hear their children’s reactions saw something just as powerful: joy, peace, and transformation.

They opened their homes for discipleship—and God used the children to reach families and start a church. 🙌

We love these personalized notes that one of our project leaders includes in each of their gift-filled shoeboxes! 🎁

"As a family, our favorite thing to put in a shoebox is a card or note. It's our way to let the child know we love them. We make laminated cards to go into the box lids of all of our shoeboxes. Luke (age 10) loves to pick out the perfect card for each box!"

Please join us in praying for the suffering families of Colombia during this difficult time. 🇨🇴 🙏

Ask God to provide peace that surpasses understanding for those who have lost loved ones, have been injured, or are still looking for their friends and family.

Please also ask that God will give wisdom and protection over the Samaritan's Purse staff and church partners who will be working to meet needs in Jesus' Name.

Please join us in praying for families in Colombia who are suffering in the aftermath of a catastrophic 7.4-magnitude earthquake. 🇨🇴🙏

Ask God to bring peace and comfort to those who are hurting, afraid, and in need. Please also pray for His protection over first responders as they work tirelessly to save lives and search for those who are still missing.
