Good Samaritan Ministries is located in the southside of Richmond to meet the needs of the community.  The need is great, no matter where you look.  Whether it be on the side of the highway or the bustling streets of the city, the needs are many: some that we see, and many that we don't.  The problems are real - alcoholism, drug abuse, crime, poverty, illiteracy, broken homes, homelessness.  And something has to be done.

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

 - Matthew 25:40

But what can be done?  Government and social programs have tried with limited success.  But programs that treat only the body and soul and not the spirit will inevitably fail.  Only spiritual power can overcome physical and psychological bondage, whether it is drug addiction, a dysfunctional family, or a life of crime.

With God's power first, and through His guidance, anyone can overcome his or her problems and addictions to lead a life of deliverance with Him.  But they will need "a hand up, not a hand out."  They need someone to show them the love of Christ and Good Samaritan Ministries is here to meet that need.

Founded in 1987, Good Samaritan Ministries is a multi-faceted ministry which includes a year long rehab/discipleship program, an inner-city Christian school for low-income families, holiday assistance for needy families and residential housing for program graduates and those in the community who are seeking a safe, drug-free place to raise their families. 

Good Samaritan Ministries is not a United Way agency and does not receive any government support.  We are only able to continue to function through the grace of God and the generosity of others.

Won't you help offer a hand up to those in need in our community?
