Samaritan’s Purse has established a base camp near Sumita. Teams will live at the base camp while volunteering. Additional base camps will be established in other locations in the near future. So keep watching this website for updates.

Actual work sites are located in the geographic territory between Kesennuma and Kamaishi. Each day volunteer teams will travel from the base camp to work sites.

The type of physical work the volunteers will do is called “mud out”. Mud out means to completely remove all furniture and belongings from a flooded house, remove damaged walls and floors, power wash the interior structure, and finally spray the structure with a sanitizing solution. Samaritan’s Purse will provide your team with instructions, tools and supplies to do the job. The work can be physically strenuous. Hopefully, volunteers will have opportunity to speak to the home owner being helped.

Volunteer Teams/ボランティアチーム

The minimum age of the team leader is 20 years old and with leadership maturity. Teams should be prepared for manual labor to include home repair and clean up. Teams must provide their own transportation to the camp, and to and from the assigned work location.

Statement of Faith/信仰宣言

Samaritan's Purse bases its ministry on the following statement of faith:

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. II Timothy 3:15-17.

• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6.

• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. John 1:1-4; Matthew 1:23; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 & 4:15; Acts 1:11 & 2:22-24; I Corinthians 15:3-4.

• We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Titus 3:4-7; Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12.

• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. Galatians 5:16-18; Romans 8:9.

• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:51-57.

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church. Ephesians 1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:12, 27.

• We believe that the ministry of evangelism is a responsibility of both the church and each Christian. Romans 10:9-15; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20; I Peter 3:15

Statement of Practice/実行宣言

The commitment of Samaritan's Purse is "to serve and not be served." Serving on the field means your agreement to the following:

1. I am willing to set aside personal preferences, habits, and schedule in the interest of others to fulfill the ministry of the project to which I am assigned and to seek to win people to faith in Jesus Christ.

2. I understand there are variations in practice and understanding of Scripture in some areas of doctrine, Christian living, and witness. In serving Samaritan's Purse, I will abide by the standards of the project to which I am assigned in all areas, including dress, entertainment, activities, etc. This includes a willing agreement to abstain from the use of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco and to be sensitive to cultural, regional, and church expectations and standards.

3. In cooperation with the project setting, I seek to provide excellence in service and to present Jesus Christ as Lord.
