Desc	THE MISSION OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE IS TO OBEDIENTLY SERVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AT THE CORE OF OUR MINISTRY IS THE BELIEF THAT MANKIND HAS BEEN SEPARATED FROM GOD BY SIN, AND OUR ONLY HOPE OF SALVATION COMES FROM THE ATONING SACRIFICE OF GOD'S SON, JESUS CHRIST. "IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED" (ROMANS 10:9). MANY CLAIM TO BEHAVE MERCIFULLY TOWARD THEIR NEIGHBORS OUT OF A SENSE OF SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS. AT SAMARITAN'S PURSE, WE TAKE OUR NAME AND MANDATE FROM CHRIST'S INSTRUCTION THAT WE SHOULD FIRST LOVE THE LORD WITH OUR HEARTS, SOULS, MINDS, AND STRENGTH. CARING FOR OUR NEIGHBORS THEN FLOWS FROM OUR DEEP LOVE FOR GOD. THIS COMMAND IS ILLUSTRATED IN THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN AS TOLD BY JESUS AND RECORDED IN LUKE 10:25-37 (NEW KING JAMES VERSION): AND BEHOLD, A CERTAIN LAWYER STOOD UP AND TESTED HIM, SAYING, "TEACHER, WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?" HE SAID TO HIM, "WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW? WHAT IS YOUR READING OF IT?" SO HE ANSWERED AND SAID, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND,- AND 'YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'- AND HE SAID TO HIM, "YOU HAVE ANSWERED RIGHTLY; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." BUT HE, WANTING TO JUSTIFY HIMSELF, SAID TO JESUS, -AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?" THEN JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID: "A CERTAIN MAN WENT DOWN FROM JERUSALEM TO JERICHO, AND FELL AMONG THIEVES, WHO STRIPPED HIM OF HIS CLOTHING, WOUNDED HIM, AND DEPARTED, LEAVING HIM HALF DEAD. NOW BY CHANCE A CERTAIN PRIEST CAME DOWN THAT ROAD. AND WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE. LIKEWISE A LEVITE, WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE PLACE, CAME AND LOOKED, AND PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE. BUT A CERTAIN SAMARITAN, AS HE JOURNEYED, CAME WHERE HE WAS. AND WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE HAD COMPASSION. SO HE WENT TO HIM AND BANDAGED HIS WOUNDS, POURING ON OIL AND WINE; AND HE SET HIM ON HIS OWN ANIMAL, BROUGHT HIM TO AN INN, AND TOOK CARE OF HIM. ON THE NEXT DAY, WHEN HE DEPARTED, HE TOOK OUT TWO DENARII, GAVE THEM TO THE INNKEEPER, AND SAID TO HIM, 'TAKE CARE OF HIM; AND WHATEVER MORE YOU SPEND, WHEN I COME AGAIN, I WILL REPAY YOU.' SO WHICH OF THESE THREE DO YOU THINK WAS NEIGHBOR TO HIM WHO FELL AMONG THE THIEVES?- AND HE SAID, "HE WHO SHOWED MERCY ON HIM." THEN JESUS SAID TO HIM, "GO AND DO LIKEWISE." AT SAMARITAN'S PURSE, WE ARE RESPONDING TO CHRIST'S COMMAND TO DO LIKEWISE AS WE MINISTER TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM THE RESULTS OF SIN IN OUR WORLD: WAR, POVERTY, DISASTER, DISEASE, AND FAMINE. THE BIBLE TELLS US, "THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED; WHO CAN KNOW IT?" (JEREMIAH 17:9). IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, WE READ THAT "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH" (ROMANS 6:23). BECAUSE OF ADAM AND EVE'S DISOBEDIENCE, EVERY HUMAN BEING IS BORN WITH THE STAIN OF SIN, WHICH, WITHOUT THE CLEANSING BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, ULTIMATELY LEADS TO PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. THE LORD, IN HIS MERCY, SENT HIS BELOVED SON, JESUS CHRIST, FROM HEAVEN TO THIS EARTH ON A RESCUE MISSION. JOHN 3:16 SAYS, "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." JESUS TOOK OUR SINS UPON HIMSELF, SUFFERING AND DYING ON A ROMAN CROSS. HE TOOK OUR SINS TO THE GRAVE, AND ON THE THIRD DAY, HE AROSE AGAIN. THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION, JESUS BECAME THE WAY FOR US TO BE RECONCILED TO GOD. HE SAID, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME" (JOHN 14:6). IF YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN IN YOUR SINS, YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM GOD FOREVER. BUT, IF YOU PLACE YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN WHAT JESUS HAS DONE, YOU WILL BE SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE. THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS: "HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED; BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD" (JOHN 3:18). IF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE GOD'S FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, YOU CAN PRAY A SIMPLE PRAYER LIKE THIS ONE: DEAR GOD, I AM A SINNER. I AM SORRY FOR MY SINS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. HELP ME TO TURN FROM MY SINFUL LIFE. I BELIEVE BY FAITH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR SON WHO DIED FOR MY SINS, AND WHOM YOU HAVE RAISED TO LIFE. I WANT TO TRUST JESUS AS MY SAVIOR AND FOLLOW HIM AS MY LORD FROM THIS DAY FORWARD AND FOREVERMORE. AMEN. IF YOU HAVE PRAYED THIS, OR WOULD LIKE SOME SPIRITUAL HELP, PLEASE CALL THE FOLLOWING NUMBER TO SPEAK WITH A COUNSELOR: 1-877-247-2426. YOU CAN TRUST THESE WORDS ARE TRUE: "FOR BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH, AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES; IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST" (EPHESIANS 2:8-9). AT SAMARITAN'S PURSE, WE TAKE PRAYER SERIOUSLY. THANKS TO WHAT JESUS CHRIST HAS DONE, WE CAN TAKE OUR PRAYER CONCERNS DIRECTLY TO OUR GOD IN HEAVEN. WE CAN ASK HIM TO INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE IN DANGER, AND WE TRUST HIM TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES FOR US TO SWIFTLY ACCOMPLISH HIS WORK AND HIS WILL. THE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE, PRAYERPOINT, IS DEVOTED ENTIRELY TO PRAYER FOR OUR PROJECTS AROUND THE WORLD. WE TRUST THAT AS GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS, HE WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF HIS PEOPLE. IN ADDITION TO THE MINISTRIES LISTED IN PART III, THE FOLLOWING MINISTRIES ARE OUR RESPONSE TO THE EFFECTS OF SIN ON HUMANITY AND THE NATURAL WORLD. OUR MISSION IS TO BRING GOD'S LOVE, HEALING, AND COMPASSION TO THOSE WHO ARE HURTING OR LOST. EUROPE REFUGEE RELIEF: CLOSE TO A MILLION REFUGEES STREAMED INTO EUROPE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST IN 2015, INCLUDING MANY CHRISTIANS AND OTHERS FLEEING RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. SAMARITAN'S PURSE DEPLOYED TEAMS IN FOUR COUNTRIES AND HELPED OVER 51,000 WOMEN AND CHILDREN WITH BACKPACKS FILLED WITH FOOD, WATER, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL ITEMS FOR THEIR JOURNEY. WE ESTABLISHED A SERIES OF "MEETING PLACES" WHERE CHRISTIAN WORKERS WHO ARE FLUENT IN ARABIC AND FARSI SHARE THE GOSPEL, OFFER BIBLES, ANSWER QUESTIONS, AND PRAY WITH MANY WHO ARE EAGER TO START A NEW LIFE. NORTH AMERICAN MINISTRIES: SAMARITAN'S PURSE HAS HELPED OVER 31,400 FAMILIES IN 35 STATES RECOVER FROM TORNADOES, HURRICANES, FLOODS, WILDFIRES, AND OTHER DISASTERS SINCE 1998. WE OPERATE FIVE DISASTER RELIEF UNITS THAT CARRY EVERYTHING NEEDED TO MAKE EMERGENCY REPAIRS AND SUPPORT THE WORK OF OUR NATIONAL NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS (9,173 AT 16 LOCATIONS IN 2015). IN 2015, SAMARITAN'S PURSE BUILT OR REPAIRED 33 HOMES FOR DISASTER SURVIVORS WHO LACKED THE MEANS TO BUILD ON THEIR OWN. AT EVERY HOME WHERE WE WORK, OUR VOLUNTEERS OFFER TO PRAY WITH THE RESIDENTS AND LEAVE THEM WITH A SIGNED COPY OF THE BIBLE. VOLUNTEERS MARK COMFORTING VERSES, SUCH AS PSALM 46:1: "GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE." WORLD MEDICAL MISSION: THE MEDICAL ARM OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE HELPED STAFF 63 MISSION HOSPITALS IN 34 COUNTRIES IN 2015. WORLD MEDICAL MISSION ARRANGED 986 SHORT-TERM TRIPS FOR CHRISTIAN DOCTORS, DENTISTS, AND OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO SERVED SHORT-TERM ASSIGNMENTS OVERSEAS. ANOTHER 35 DOCTORS WERE SERVING TWO-YEAR ASSIGNMENTS WITH WMM'S POST-RESIDENCY PROGRAM, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PREPARE THEM TO BECOME CAREER MEDICAL MISSIONARIES. OUR MEDICAL WAREHOUSE SHIPPED OVER 3.6 MILLION IN DONATED EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO MISSION HOSPITALS IN 13 COUNTRIES. WE PRAISE GOD FOR HOW HE USES THESE PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS TO SAVE LIVES AND EARN A HEARING FOR THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THE GREAT PHYSICIAN. THE GREATEST JOURNEY: THE GREATEST JOURNEY IS A DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY SAMARITAN'S PURSE FOR CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE SHOEBOX GIFTS FROM OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD. THE GOALS ARE EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM, DISCIPLESHIP, AND PURPOSEFUL MULTIPLICATION OF THE GOSPEL. WE PROVIDE LESSON BOOKS AND BIBLES IN OVER 70 LANGUAGES. IN 2015, OVER 2.7 MILLION CHILDREN ENROLLED, 1.2 MILLION MADE DECISIONS TO TRUST JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR, AND 1.4 MILLION COMMITTED TO PRAY FOR AND SHARE THEIR FAITH WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SINCE 2009, 7.5 MILLION HAVE ENROLLED AND 3.4 MILLION HAVE COME TO FAITH IN CHRIST. "SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOES FORTH FROM MY MOUTH; IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING FOR WHICH I SENT IT" (ISAIAH 55:11). OPERATION HEAL OUR PATRIOTS: SAMARITAN'S PURSE ESTABLISHED OPERATION HEAL OUR PATRIOTS IN 2012 AS A MINISTRY TO HELP STRENGTHEN THE MARRIAGES OF WOUNDED VETERANS. IN THE SUMMER OF 2015, NEARLY 160 MILITARY COUPLES SPENT A WEEK AS OUR GUESTS IN ALASKA, WHERE THEY PARTICIPATED IN MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT LESSONS LED BY RETIRED MILITARY CHAPLAINS AND ALSO ENJOYED OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO DRAW THEM CLOSER TO EACH OTHER AND TO GOD. IN THE FIRST FOUR YEARS, 526 COUPLES PARTICIPATED, AND 203 INDIVIDUALS HAVE TRUSTED JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR. SAMARITAN'S PURSE HAS MADE A COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE FOLLOW-UP CARE FOR EACH COUPLE AS LONG AS THEY NEED IT. "YET IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOV	Desc

Explanation	FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL: ONE BOARD MEMBER TRAVELED ONE TIME AND ONE KEY EMPLOYEE TRAVELED TWO TIMES VIA FIRST CLASS AIRFARE FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. FOR TWO FLIGHTS, NO COACH SERVICE WAS AVAILABLE AND FOR ONE FLIGHT THE DISCOUNTED FIRST CLASS TICKET WAS LESS THAN A FULL FARE COACH TICKET. CHARTER TRAVEL (MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT, OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION AND CHARTER TRIPS): SAMARITAN'S PURSE PROVIDES CHARTER TRAVEL VIA THE USE OF MINISTRY-OWNED AIRCRAFT, BASED IN KENYA, LIBERIA AND THE UNITED STATES (ALASKA AND NORTH CAROLINA), TO PERFORM ITS EVANGELISM AND RELIEF PROGRAMS AS WELL AS CHARTER FLIGHTS PROVIDED BY OTHER MISSIONARY AVIATION MINISTRIES OR PRIVATE CHARTERS TO CARRY OUT RELIEF AND MINISTRY PROGRAMS. THE AIRCRAFT TRANSPORT LISTED PERSONS, AND OTHER PERSONS, IN PERFORMANCE OF MINISTRY PROGRAMS, OFTEN IN AREAS NOT SERVED BY COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORTATION. ANY PERSONAL USE FOLLOWED THE BOARD-APPROVED POLICY AND THE RELATED BENEFIT AMOUNT PER IRS REGULATIONS WAS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. LISTED PERSONS FLOWN ON CHARTER FLIGHTS WERE AS FOLLOWS: FIFTEEN BOARD MEMBERS, THREE OFFICERS, TWO KEY EMPLOYEES, AND THREE HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES TRAVELED IN MINISTRY-OWNED OR CHARTERED AIRCRAFT FOR MINISTRY PURPOSES. A PORTION OF THREE BOARD MEMBERS' TRIPS WERE REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS: AS A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, WE BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE, BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, WAS CREATED BY GOD (GENESIS 2:24, MATTHEW 19:4-6). WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY PROVIDE A MEANS TO GLORIFY AND SERVE GOD. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE IS DISPLAYED THROUGH THE SCRIPTURAL COMPARISON OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRIST AND THE CHURCH (EPHESIANS 5:22-27, REVELATION 21:2, 21:9). SAMARITAN'S PURSE ACKNOWLEDGES THE UNIQUE, DISTINCT, AND ELEVATED ROLE OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY, AND WE DESIRE TO AFFIRM GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY AS IT PERTAINS TO CARRYING OUT OUR MISSION AND MINISTRY (MATTHEW 5:14-16). THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FURTHER RECOGNIZES THAT SPOUSES AND FAMILY MEMBERS ARE OFTEN PASSIONATE AMBASSADORS AND MINISTRY PARTNERS WHOSE FAMILIARITY, SUPPORT, AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT CAN EXPAND THE IMPACT OF OUR MISSION AND PURPOSES OF FURTHERING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (ACTS 1:8). MANAGEMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO ACTIVELY CULTIVATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF SPOUSES AND FAMILY MEMBERS OF BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF IN THE MINISTRY, THROUGH VOLUNTEER SERVICES, TRAINING, DISCIPLESHIP, PRAYER, SHARING THE STORY OF OUR WORK, DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER MINISTRY ACTIVITIES. TRAVEL BY COMPANIONS WAS FOR VOLUNTEERING ON MINISTRY PROJECTS. THE TRAVEL BY COMPANIONS RESULTED IN MINIMAL, IF ANY, ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO THE MINISTRY. LISTED PERSONS WITH TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS WERE AS FOLLOWS: SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS, ONE OFFICER, ONE KEY EMPLOYEE AND TWO HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A COMPANION ON MINISTRY ACTIVITY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED A POLICY REGARDING THE PRESIDENT/CEO'S TRAVEL FOR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT INCLUDES REPORTING ANY PERSONAL USE AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. ALSO, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ESTABLISHED A GUIDELINE ON THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY THE PRESIDENT/CEO FOR PERSONAL USE. HOUSING ALLOWANCE: SAMARITAN'S PURSE INCLUDES AS COMPENSATION A MINISTERIAL HOUSING ALLOWANCE FOR PERSONS WHO MEET THE IRS GUIDELINES. ONE DIRECTOR RECEIVED A HOUSING ALLOWANCE. PERSONAL SERVICES: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A POLICY THAT PROVIDES MAINTENANCE AND BOOKKEEPING SERVICES TO THE PRESIDENT/CEO. THE VALUE OF THESE SERVICES ARE REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION AND INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REASONABLENESS COMPENSATION REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.	ExplanationTxt

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	SAMARITAN'S PURSE IS A NONDENOMINATIONAL EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION PROVIDING SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL AID TO HURTING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. SINCE 1970, SAMARITAN'S PURSE HAS HELPED MEET NEEDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VICTIMS OF WAR, POVERTY, NATURAL DISASTERS, DISEASE, AND FAMINE WITH THE PURPOSE OF SHARING GOD'S LOVE THROUGH HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. THE ORGANIZATION SERVES THE CHURCH WORLDWIDE TO PROMOTE THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6	THE MINISTRY USES VOLUNTEERS IN WORLD MEDICAL MISSION, OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD, OPERATION HEAL OUR PATRIOTS, NORTH AMERICAN MINISTRIES, AND INTERNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. THOUSANDS MORE VOLUNTEER FROM AFAR THROUGH THEIR PRAYERS.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D	THE MISSION OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE IS TO OBEDIENTLY SERVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AT THE CORE OF OUR MINISTRY IS THE BELIEF THAT MANKIND HAS BEEN SEPARATED FROM GOD BY SIN, AND OUR ONLY HOPE OF SALVATION COMES FROM THE ATONING SACRIFICE OF GOD'S SON, JESUS CHRIST. "IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED" (ROMANS 10:9). MANY CLAIM TO BEHAVE MERCIFULLY TOWARD THEIR NEIGHBORS OUT OF A SENSE OF SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS. AT SAMARITAN'S PURSE, WE TAKE OUR NAME AND MANDATE FROM CHRIST'S INSTRUCTION THAT WE SHOULD FIRST LOVE THE LORD WITH OUR HEARTS, SOULS, MINDS, AND STRENGTH. CARING FOR OUR NEIGHBORS THEN FLOWS FROM OUR DEEP LOVE FOR GOD. THIS COMMAND IS ILLUSTRATED IN THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN AS TOLD BY JESUS AND RECORDED IN LUKE 10:25-37 (NEW KING JAMES VERSION): AND BEHOLD, A CERTAIN LAWYER STOOD UP AND TESTED HIM, SAYING, "TEACHER, WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?" HE SAID TO HIM, "WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW? WHAT IS YOUR READING OF IT?" SO HE ANSWERED AND SAID, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND,- AND 'YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'- AND HE SAID TO HIM, "YOU HAVE ANSWERED RIGHTLY; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." BUT HE, WANTING TO JUSTIFY HIMSELF, SAID TO JESUS, -AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?" THEN JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID: "A CERTAIN MAN WENT DOWN FROM JERUSALEM TO JERICHO, AND FELL AMONG THIEVES, WHO STRIPPED HIM OF HIS CLOTHING, WOUNDED HIM, AND DEPARTED, LEAVING HIM HALF DEAD. NOW BY CHANCE A CERTAIN PRIEST CAME DOWN THAT ROAD. AND WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE. LIKEWISE A LEVITE, WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE PLACE, CAME AND LOOKED, AND PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE. BUT A CERTAIN SAMARITAN, AS HE JOURNEYED, CAME WHERE HE WAS. AND WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE HAD COMPASSION. SO HE WENT TO HIM AND BANDAGED HIS WOUNDS, POURING ON OIL AND WINE; AND HE SET HIM ON HIS OWN ANIMAL, BROUGHT HIM TO AN INN, AND TOOK CARE OF HIM. ON THE NEXT DAY, WHEN HE DEPARTED, HE TOOK OUT TWO DENARII, GAVE THEM TO THE INNKEEPER, AND SAID TO HIM, 'TAKE CARE OF HIM; AND WHATEVER MORE YOU SPEND, WHEN I COME AGAIN, I WILL REPAY YOU.' SO WHICH OF THESE THREE DO YOU THINK WAS NEIGHBOR TO HIM WHO FELL AMONG THE THIEVES?- AND HE SAID, "HE WHO SHOWED MERCY ON HIM." THEN JESUS SAID TO HIM, "GO AND DO LIKEWISE." AT SAMARITAN'S PURSE, WE ARE RESPONDING TO CHRIST'S COMMAND TO DO LIKEWISE AS WE MINISTER TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM THE RESULTS OF SIN IN OUR WORLD: WAR, POVERTY, DISASTER, DISEASE, AND FAMINE. THE BIBLE TELLS US, "THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED; WHO CAN KNOW IT?" (JEREMIAH 17:9). IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, WE READ THAT "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH" (ROMANS 6:23). BECAUSE OF ADAM AND EVE'S DISOBEDIENCE, EVERY HUMAN BEING IS BORN WITH THE STAIN OF SIN, WHICH, WITHOUT THE CLEANSING BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, ULTIMATELY LEADS TO PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. THE LORD, IN HIS MERCY, SENT HIS BELOVED SON, JESUS CHRIST, FROM HEAVEN TO THIS EARTH ON A RESCUE MISSION. JOHN 3:16 SAYS, "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." JESUS TOOK OUR SINS UPON HIMSELF, SUFFERING AND DYING ON A ROMAN CROSS. HE TOOK OUR SINS TO THE GRAVE, AND ON THE THIRD DAY, HE AROSE AGAIN. THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION, JESUS BECAME THE WAY FOR US TO BE RECONCILED TO GOD. HE SAID, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME" (JOHN 14:6). IF YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN IN YOUR SINS, YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM GOD FOREVER. BUT, IF YOU PLACE YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN WHAT JESUS HAS DONE, YOU WILL BE SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE. THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS: "HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED; BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD" (JOHN 3:18). IF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE GOD'S FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, YOU CAN PRAY A SIMPLE PRAYER LIKE THIS ONE: DEAR GOD, I AM A SINNER. I AM SORRY FOR MY SINS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. HELP ME TO TURN FROM MY SINFUL LIFE. I BELIEVE BY FAITH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR SON WHO DIED FOR MY SINS, AND WHOM YOU HAVE RAISED TO LIFE. I WANT TO TRUST JESUS AS MY SAVIOR AND FOLLOW HIM AS MY LORD FROM THIS DAY FORWARD AND FOREVERMORE. AMEN. IF YOU HAVE PRAYED THIS, OR WOULD LIKE SOME SPIRITUAL HELP, PLEASE CALL THE FOLLOWING NUMBER TO SPEAK WITH A COUNSELOR: 1-877-247-2426. YOU CAN TRUST THESE WORDS ARE TRUE: "FOR BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH, AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES; IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST" (EPHESIANS 2:8-9). AT SAMARITAN'S PURSE, WE TAKE PRAYER SERIOUSLY. THANKS TO WHAT JESUS CHRIST HAS DONE, WE CAN TAKE OUR PRAYER CONCERNS DIRECTLY TO OUR GOD IN HEAVEN. WE CAN ASK HIM TO INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE IN DANGER, AND WE TRUST HIM TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES FOR US TO SWIFTLY ACCOMPLISH HIS WORK AND HIS WILL. THE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE, PRAYERPOINT, IS DEVOTED ENTIRELY TO PRAYER FOR OUR PROJECTS AROUND THE WORLD. WE TRUST THAT AS GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS, HE WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF HIS PEOPLE. IN ADDITION TO THE MINISTRIES LISTED IN PART III, THE FOLLOWING MINISTRIES ARE OUR RESPONSE TO THE EFFECTS OF SIN ON HUMANITY AND THE NATURAL WORLD. OUR MISSION IS TO BRING GOD'S LOVE, HEALING, AND COMPASSION TO THOSE WHO ARE HURTING OR LOST. EUROPE REFUGEE RELIEF: CLOSE TO A MILLION REFUGEES STREAMED INTO EUROPE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST IN 2015, INCLUDING MANY CHRISTIANS AND OTHERS FLEEING RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. SAMARITAN'S PURSE DEPLOYED TEAMS IN FOUR COUNTRIES AND HELPED OVER 51,000 WOMEN AND CHILDREN WITH BACKPACKS FILLED WITH FOOD, WATER, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL ITEMS FOR THEIR JOURNEY. WE ESTABLISHED A SERIES OF "MEETING PLACES" WHERE CHRISTIAN WORKERS WHO ARE FLUENT IN ARABIC AND FARSI SHARE THE GOSPEL, OFFER BIBLES, ANSWER QUESTIONS, AND PRAY WITH MANY WHO ARE EAGER TO START A NEW LIFE. NORTH AMERICAN MINISTRIES: SAMARITAN'S PURSE HAS HELPED OVER 31,400 FAMILIES IN 35 STATES RECOVER FROM TORNADOES, HURRICANES, FLOODS, WILDFIRES, AND OTHER DISASTERS SINCE 1998. WE OPERATE FIVE DISASTER RELIEF UNITS THAT CARRY EVERYTHING NEEDED TO MAKE EMERGENCY REPAIRS AND SUPPORT THE WORK OF OUR NATIONAL NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS (9,173 AT 16 LOCATIONS IN 2015). IN 2015, SAMARITAN'S PURSE BUILT OR REPAIRED 33 HOMES FOR DISASTER SURVIVORS WHO LACKED THE MEANS TO BUILD ON THEIR OWN. AT EVERY HOME WHERE WE WORK, OUR VOLUNTEERS OFFER TO PRAY WITH THE RESIDENTS AND LEAVE THEM WITH A SIGNED COPY OF THE BIBLE. VOLUNTEERS MARK COMFORTING VERSES, SUCH AS PSALM 46:1: "GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE." WORLD MEDICAL MISSION: THE MEDICAL ARM OF SAMARITAN'S PURSE HELPED STAFF 63 MISSION HOSPITALS IN 34 COUNTRIES IN 2015. WORLD MEDICAL MISSION ARRANGED 986 SHORT-TERM TRIPS FOR CHRISTIAN DOCTORS, DENTISTS, AND OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO SERVED SHORT-TERM ASSIGNMENTS OVERSEAS. ANOTHER 35 DOCTORS WERE SERVING TWO-YEAR ASSIGNMENTS WITH WMM'S POST-RESIDENCY PROGRAM, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PREPARE THEM TO BECOME CAREER MEDICAL MISSIONARIES. OUR MEDICAL WAREHOUSE SHIPPED OVER 3.6 MILLION IN DONATED EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO MISSION HOSPITALS IN 13 COUNTRIES. WE PRAISE GOD FOR HOW HE USES THESE PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS TO SAVE LIVES AND EARN A HEARING FOR THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THE GREAT PHYSICIAN. THE GREATEST JOURNEY: THE GREATEST JOURNEY IS A DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY SAMARITAN'S PURSE FOR CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE SHOEBOX GIFTS FROM OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD. THE GOALS ARE EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM, DISCIPLESHIP, AND PURPOSEFUL MULTIPLICATION OF THE GOSPEL. WE PROVIDE LESSON BOOKS AND BIBLES IN OVER 70 LANGUAGES. IN 2015, OVER 2.7 MILLION CHILDREN ENROLLED, 1.2 MILLION MADE DECISIONS TO TRUST JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR, AND 1.4 MILLION COMMITTED TO PRAY FOR AND SHARE THEIR FAITH WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SINCE 2009, 7.5 MILLION HAVE ENROLLED AND 3.4 MILLION HAVE COME TO FAITH IN CHRIST. "SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOES FORTH FROM MY MOUTH; IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING FOR WHICH I SENT IT" (ISAIAH 55:11). OPERATION HEAL OUR PATRIOTS: SAMARITAN'S PURSE ESTABLISHED OPERATION HEAL OUR PATRIOTS IN 2012 AS A MINISTRY TO HELP STRENGTHEN THE MARRIAGES OF WOUNDED VETERANS.

THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS ARE SUBMITTED BY THESE INDIVIDUALS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AS WELL AS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS A TRANSACTION MAY ARISE. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE CORPORATE AFFAIRS AND FINANCE DEPARTMENTS MONITOR THE ADDITION OF NEW RESPONSIBLE PERSONS WHOSE POSITIONS MAY ALLOW THEM TO HAVE MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST IN A TRANSACTION.

THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN WILL PRESENT THE MATERIAL FACTS OF THE TRANSACTION TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR RATIFICATION. IF THE CEO OR HIS FAMILY MEMBER IS THE ONE WITH THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THEN INITIAL DISCLOSURE SHALL BE MADE DIRECTLY TO THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF CORPORATE AFFAIRS. USING THE SAME CRITERIA LISTED ABOVE, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW AND DECIDE IF THE TRANSACTION IS FAIR AND IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE MINISTRY. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WILL PRESENT THE MATERIAL FACTS OF THE TRANSACTION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR RATIFICATION. IF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST INVOLVES A GRANT, PAYMENT OR BENEFIT TO ANOTHER 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE EXEMPT PURPOSES OF THE MINISTRY, THE MATERIAL TERMS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS WILL BE ANNUALLY SUBMITTED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW AND TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW AND RATIFICATION.
