SP Tunisia - Libya DART Response


I recently had an opportunity to go on a disaster assistance response mission with Samaritan's Purse to the Tunisian Border with Libya. We were providing wet feeding to approximately 4500 refugees at Choucha Camp. The vast majority of the camp population were third country nationals (Sudanese, Somalis, Eritreans, Nigerians, Bangladeshis, etc)  who had been migrant workers in Libya and fled after the conflict started.

Samaritan's Purse Haiti: Chapter 1

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Eyeing Africa will now be figuratively eyeing Haiti...

Homeless and hungry many Haitians face their futures. We are doing our best to change that.

Rains...finally...

It's March in Karamoja and it seems that a 4 year drought might be broken. The ground which normally wrinkles into a cracked dry mosaic has been transformed into a velvet green wonderland. Fingers of life stretch out of the red ground in a performance reminiscent of a resurrection. Birds, butterflies and bees are reborn, rivers overflow, and clouds enshroud Mount Moroto. New life has been breathed into a barren existence. An existence which weeks before seemed to be hanging on the fringe of survival...on the fringe of the world's thoughts. There is a sense of hope...at least for now...
