With Love and JoyOutstanding PodcastAbsolutely incredible podcast everyone, especially Christians, should listen to. How are you partnering with God in your own mission field to introduce lost and hurting people to the healing and hope of Jesus Christ? Thank you On the Ground staff for bringing the Samaritan’s Purse ministry to life in such vivid detail with so many beautiful, inspiring testimonies of how God’s Kingdom has broken through. I’m so very impressed, and tremendously grateful. May God continue to shower you with His abundant blessings, multiplying your efforts to spotlight the goodness and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.

Anon27888Holy Spirit at WorkI love seeing how God works in our world through his people.

Auntie of 30Operation Heal Our PatriotsI just listened to The Hole only God can Fill. It was so encouraging to hear about what God is doing in Alaska.
-
@paige_landersEncouraging Podcast!I love listening to this podcast while I work! As an employee of Samaritan’s Purse it is encouraging to me in my daily work to remember what is being done all around the world in Jesus’ name.
-
rat88fanPower in this podcastThere is a power in this podcast to take you away from your daily concerns that often seem to weigh us down and, instead, turn our eyes and prayers to people who are truly “in the ditch”. Listen and be changed!
-
AnaMStephanListen and see…When I just need to see Jesus, that He still enters into darkness to shine His light, that He still enters hurt and pain with His generous love…when I need to be reminded of the reason I fell absolutely in love with Him and wanted to give nothing less than all of my life to share the gospel…when I need to lift my head, this is one of the places I go. “Taste and see that the LORD is good.” And sometimes listen and see.

De-stressGod Bless!God bless you all at Samaritan’s Purse in all you do! Thank you for sharing the updates on what you’re doing around the world!
-
Jeff from SCThank youI support your efforts financially and with poor prayer. I love what you are doing! Someday I would love to be on the team working in the setup/skilled trades. I have worked in ministry for 18 years and have a idea of the work that goes into these updates. Please know that it touches hearts. Keep up the good work. Jeff Ballard

LocilaniThank you for the ‘On The Ground’ podcasts!Dear Kristy, Thank you so much for your podcasts! I used to work for OCC and always LOVED to hear what was happening with SP around the world. I love how you are capturing the story in this format. Thank you for your time and sacrifice in making these happen! Blessings, Nicole

7117DROAppreciated podcast!Kristy- thank you for the podcast! I love hearing from those directly on the front lines with the many ministry areas of Samaritans purse. This greatly empowers me to pray more intelligently and specifically- and also- with more compassion and passion for God to strengthen all those who minister and volunteer.
-
minnie theodosiaI send to my children, grands,friends !!Because SP’s work is so important and the staff is so committed I send to anyone I think can learn and benefit from knowing and hearing about your mission. May you all be blessed here and in the life to come!
-
wlistenerFabulous podcastLove hearing from the frontlines. The staff have such obedience and I love hearing their testimonies and prayer requests. I am challenged in each episode.
-
Camelot199Great podcast!I’ve listened to all of these podcasts, and highly recommend each one. My wife and I support Samaritan’s Purse because they are so good at mobilizing people and resources to help people in desperate situations, plus they tell them about Jesus who will be there for each victim long after the Team leaves. Keep up the Good Work, Kristy!
-

Ichy CraneBlessed!!!Thank you for sharing I’m more detail, about the work the Lord has for SP. we have been supporters for years and read the newsletters. However, this podcast has made it more real to us! Praying!
-
Dawn from WyomingHumblingThank you so much for this podcast to go behind the scenes with a DART team. We have supported SP for years, prayed for this ministry and devour the newsletter each time it comes. The quality of your work IS your witness. Looking forward to the next episode!
-
Debbie in JAXI love that we get to go behind the scenes!We have supported Samaritans Purse for years and especially appreciate their response to disasters both domestic and international. It is so exciting that we get a more personal glimpse of what it is like to be there when this amazing team hits the ground running! God is glorified and lives are saved and changed for eternity.
-
Paula WillisonFeels like you're there!Great first episode of SP's response in the Bahamas--felt like I was there with the background sounds and descriptions. Looking forward to more episodes!
-
TP BaldDART in the BahamasGreat job giving listeners a real firsthand understanding of the work SP is doing to bring relief in the Bahamas. Thanks for sharing specific prayer needs so we can be praying for the workers and the people affected by this disaster.

3bearhugs4lisaDemonstrating Love w/ DARTThis Podcast will be shared!! What an incredible illustration of real life living & loving Jesus! Thank you for bringing this beautiful ministry straight from the sidelines into our hearts and hands.

Christmas Fun 2Inspiration aboundsSamaritans Purse glorifies God through service - I am so encouraged and blessed by your ministry!
-
suzanneD61Eyes opened wideWhat excellent interviews Kristy conducted. Listening to all the sounds in each area, the voices of those being served and those serving, Scripture for each situation. It was emotional and I’m not even there on the ground. I’m always praying, and now I know what specifically what to pray for. Thank you for bringing so much new understanding about the immediate and ongoing needs for disaster relief. Praising God for his provision for you and through you. Suzanne
-
Justice DanielIncredible!It’s so encouraging to hear from the people who are actually there on the front lines! Praying for the good work to continue and for the gospel to be spread!
-
OutdeepTakes you quickly and efficiently into an important worldKristy takes you quickly and efficiently “on the ground” into a world of important and critical work. The stories match the quality of 60 Minutes and other feature audio magazines. They are short enough so as a subscription to this podcast is not burdensome. Full disclosure: I am a Samaritan’s Purse employee with an administrative role so I do not see first hand the work in the field.
-
MematooFirst thoughts...Hearing this makes it feel so real. All the hard work the workers do before they are able to help the local folks. It’s exciting to know the Samaritans Purse Shoebox connections are helping facilitate distribution of essentials! I pray for encouragement and strength for the workers and those they are helping. Amen
-
Instalover1989So informative about what’s going on!I had already forgotten about the people in the Bahamas, sadly. This was sent to me by my Dad and I’m so thankful to listen and be reminded to pray for not only the amazing volunteers in the Bahamas but also the local people who have suffered so much. They are not to be forgotten! This is a must listen!
-
Marvin in JaxI charity I can FULLY TRUST!! Great job!!Well thought out and structured podcast that helps me understand where my charitable giving ultimately goes! Our world is unpredictable and natural disasters are no respecter of persons! Thank you for helping sooo many people—so many times....in JESUS NAME!! I wish I could give more. Great podcast!!
-
Muskegon AlCritical insight into disaster recoveryThis podcast gave me critical insight into disaster recovery. Those of us who have never helped during a disaster have no idea what it takes to provide assistance. God bless those who serve with Samaritans Purse. Thank you for sharing this documentary.
-
Rich PoormanWhat they actually doReally enjoyed hearing the specifics of what they actually do on one of these missions. Very happy to support this ministry knowing it’s getting Directly to the people who desperately need it, no middle man. I get so many requests for money like so many other people do, and I am more and more discriminating in selecting charities because so many are really scams. Samaritan’s Purse is the real deal. Ms Graham did a very nice job of interviewing in an almost documentary style. Great first podcast.
-
casy_jonesWow!!I’ve heard and seen SP’s involvement around the world. Kristie made it personal by going onsite and talking first hand with the angels that are taking Jesus to hurting people. I will definitely recommend others of my friends not just tune in but lend a hand and heart to lift up your arms as you go where many of us will never go. Thank you for your amazing courage and devotion to Jesus that touches His children where they need it most.
-
War eagle mamaExcellentListened to this with my children and it was inspiring. Joining in prayer!

Ben BandyA MUST LISTEN FOR PODCAST LOVERSGreat Podcast! The way that Samaritan’s Purse gives help to those around the world in a tangible way is inspiring. I can’t wait for the next episode!
