Samaritan’s Purse Canada’s specially equipped Disaster Response Unit tractor trailer was dispatched to southern British Columbia in August 2015 in response to wildfires around Oliver and Rock Creek. Thirty homes along Highway 33 were destroyed in the fire. The Samaritan’s Purse disaster response team coordinated 83 volunteers, who gave over 500 hours of their time helping 20 homeowners.
Help Samaritan’s Purse strengthen the impact of local churches in communities recovering in the aftermath of disasters. As caring Christians are trained and empowered to walk alongside individuals and families to find solutions to complex needs, God opens doors to share the Gospel.
