"Let my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God."

Bob Pierce wrote these words in his Bible after visiting children on the Korean island of Koje-do. This prayer is what guided him as he founded and led the ministry of Samaritan's Purse in 1970.

His mission for this organization was "to meet emergency needs in crisis areas through existing evangelical mission agencies and national churches."

After sharing the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus said “Go and do likewise.” That is the mission of Samaritan's Purse—to follow the example of Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel.

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Matthew 25:40

Operation Christmas Child
