“¡Agradezco a Dios por todo lo que ha hecho a través de Samaritan’s Purse en el transcurso de estos 50 años! Por medio de Su gracia hemos podido responder a las emergencias alrededor del mundo y salvar vidas, ayudar a los que sufren y compartir la esperanza del Evangelio. A Dios sea la gloria!”.
Franklin Graham, Presidente, Samaritan’s Purse
Viaje a través de los 50 años de la fidelidad de Dios
