Global Samaritan Resources has been around since 1999. What started as a two-man operation has since participated in ministry efforts in more than 25 countries on five continents. GSR has provided millions of US Dollars of humanitarian aid and disaster relief while partnering directly with many wonderful ministries worldwide. Global Samaritan Resources, Inc. has been a 501(c)3 Texas Corporation since 2006. GSR chose Abilene to operate from because it is a community that boasts three Christian Universities, numerous churches and has a heart for the poor and hurting of the world. Hundreds of missionaries and aid workers pass through the community each year and share of a world in need of gigantic proportions.

GSR began operating out of an old grocery store that it leased from a generous company. Staff and volunteers would slowly gather supplies around town from hospitals and individuals and then bring them back to the warehouse to ship on containers to different areas of need. In 2008, through the gift of a generous anonymous donor, GSR acquired and moved into it’s own prime property with over 90,000 sq. ft. of warehouse and office space. Since then, GSR has been able to expand its supply base by enlisting local and state hospitals, agricultural associations, charities and individuals to help. GSR is also a registered PVO with USAID and participates in surplus equipment and food programs as well as some transportation opportunities offered through the State Department.

Global Samaritan Resources is fortunate enough to have gathered a Board of Trustees comprised of missionaries, doctors, lawyers, accountants and educators who are well experienced and well traveled in the areas we serve. Our staff has expanded to include people with vast experience of working both domestically and internationally.

Regardless of how large GSR grows and how many ministry partners we are blessed to be associated with the heart of the organization will be our team of volunteers. We salute and say thank you to the many generous volunteers and donors who continue to make Global Samaritan Resources possible through the grace of God.
