Be a Lighthouse Sending Church
Lighthouse Sending Churches organize teams within their congregation that are willing to volunteer with Samaritan’s Purse, and then send these teams to disaster responses within Canada.
There are two ways churches can be a Lighthouse with Samaritan’s Purse:
Be a Lighthouse Host Church
Lighthouse Host Churches are close to areas affected by disaster. They act as a home base in the days following a disaster by housing volunteers, storing equipment, and sharing information and insight about the community with Samaritan’s Purse staff.
“After partnering with Samaritan’s Purse during the flood clean-up in our community, we were seen as servants to the people in our community. It also empowered the people in our church with the confidence to know that with God’s help, we can make a difference in our community.”
~ Reverend Neville
