Love Your Neighbour
As we welcome a new year, now is the perfect time to act with compassion and offer help for those in desperate need.
Around the world, millions of people face unimaginable hardships—from the ongoing war in Ukraine to famine in Sudan and conflict in Israel and Gaza. In 2025, you can make a difference. By choosing a life-changing gift from the Samaritan’s Purse Gift Catalogue, you will provide tangible relief and share the love of Jesus with those people who need it most.
Israel and Gaza: Caring for Refugees
The Crisis: The conflict in Israel and Gaza has displaced thousands of families. Many have fled with little more than the clothes on their backs, finding refuge in overcrowded camps where basic hygiene and safety are nearly impossible to maintain.
Your Impact: A £20 gift can provide a Hygiene Kit with essentials like soap and feminine hygiene items to limit the spread of disease and restore dignity to someone who’s lost everything.
"Thank you very much for all that you’re doing. This is the reason that we wake up every morning with a big smile, thanking you for standing with us. We believe there is hope for the future and we hope that these difficult days will end soon."

Sudan: Bringing Food to the Starving
The Crisis: Famine grips the land in southern Sudan. Families displaced by war struggle to survive as drought and locusts destroy what little food remains. Parents are forced to boil leaves and forage seeds, desperate to ease their children’s hunger.
Your Impact: For just £25, you can Feed a Hungry Person for an entire month. A £175 gift will provide food for a family of seven, giving them essential nourishment like corn, beans, and peanut paste for a month.
Earlier this year, armed forces broke into Amira’s hometown, raping women caught outside and killing men indiscriminately. Now, with little food and no land, she must provide for what family she has left. “I was surprised that you came here with food. I was very happy and overjoyed.”
—Amira, internally displaced mother in Sudan
Ukraine: Hope in the Darkness
The Crisis: As the war in Ukraine rages on, soldiers on the front lines face unimaginable loss, including their eyesight due to trauma and explosions.
Your Impact: For just £15, you can give an Audio Bible to a Ukrainian soldier who has lost their sight, bringing the light of God’s Word into their darkest hour.
