Samaritan’s Purse – Kristy and Edward Graham

  • Edward and Kristy Graham join the podcast today to share about the work of Samaritan’s Purse in orphan care and caring for vulnerable children. They share about their mission to share the gospel around the world through their medical and disaster relief efforts. “If it’s a person struggling in a ‘ditch,’ we want to reach their immediate needs.”
