WHAT WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED AT PRESCRIPTION FOR RENEWAL?

The Prescription for Renewal conference will highlight the various medical ministries of Samaritan’s Purse. Our hope is that through attending this event you will leave feeling more informed and better equipped to serve on the mission field with Samaritan’s Purse. 

General Sessions will highlight keynote speakers and testimonies from active missionaries serving with Samaritan’s Purse.  

During the day on Friday and Saturday, a variety of lectures are offered. This will be a great opportunity to take a deeper dive into topics critical to the success of serving on the mission field, hear personal accounts of how the Lord is working in missionaries’ lives, as well as learn about specific responses Samaritan’s Purse is involved with.


A few of the Samaritan's Purse medical ministries include:

  • Short-Term Medical Mission Assignments
