Samaritan’s Purse is an international Christian relief organization dedicated to providing aid to people in need around the world. Through a shared commitment to respond quickly in times of crisis, this partnership helps deliver both urgent humanitarian assistance and the hope of the Gospel to those facing disaster, poverty, and hardship.

Founded by Bob Pierce and now led by Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse operates in more than 100 countries, responding to natural disasters, conflict zones, disease outbreaks, and ongoing community needs. Their work includes emergency relief, medical care, clean water initiatives, and long-term development programs—all carried out with a clear mission to share the love of Jesus Christ.

One of Samaritan Purse's most recognized initiatives, Operation Christmas Child, delivers gift-filled shoeboxes to children around the world, opening doors for evangelism and discipleship. In times of disaster, their rapid deployment teams—including field hospitals and specialized response units—provide immediate, life-saving assistance. Judah 1’s aviation capabilities complement these efforts by helping extend reach into affected areas quickly and efficiently.
