name="Dear Friend,"><font face="Times New Roman">Dear
Friend, </font></a></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">Growing up as the son of
Billy and Ruth Graham, I was not a stranger to the work
of Christ. My own experience serving Him, though, began
when I decided at the age of 22 to trust Christ
personally as my Lord and Savior. Since then it has been
my privilege to spend my life helping others understand
His love and the Good News of salvation through faith in
Him. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">For me&#151;and for
thousands of other people today&#151;this means walking
the Samaritan Road. In other words, like the Good
Samaritan our Lord described in Luke chapter 10, coming
to the aid of hurting people and helping them get back on
their feet. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">Today the Samaritan Road
winds through places such as Bosnia, Romania, Sudan,
Lebanon, and India, where men, women, and children are
victims of war, famine, disease, and natural disaster. In
these and other troubled areas, Samaritan's Purse
ministers to those who are suffering by providing them
with food, water, clothing, shelter, medical care, and
other critically needed assistance, all in Christ's Name.
This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, which
offers forgiveness and hope to all who believe. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">Samaritan's Purse can
lift up Christ in these situations as concerned
individuals such as yourself join with
us&#151;personally, prayerfully, and financially.
Together God can use us mightily. Welcome to the
Samaritan Road! </font></p>
