Just a month ago, Governor Andrew Cuomo was crying out for help to house COVID-19 patients. Samaritan’s Purse showed up in New York City with a field hospital to ease the shortage of beds. They set their tents up in Central Park and started taking patients on April 1st.
The mobile hospital boasted 68 beds in 14 tents, with 10 ICU beds complete with ventilators. They received hundreds of patients in the month they have been operating there.
Samaritan’s Purse also set up a field hospital in Cremona, Italy, and has medical teams working on the Venezuela-Columbian border to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
The organization maintains a Christian ethic among those who work there. Franklin Graham, the founder, and son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, has a reputation for being outspoken from a Christian perspective on LGBTQ issues, marriage, and other matters that are, to understate it, controversial.
Consequently, Graham signed a memorandum of understanding with the Mount Sinai Health System promising not to discriminate against any patient. He commented:
In other words, as a religious charity, while we lawfully hire staff who share our Christian beliefs, we do not discriminate in who we serve. We have provided billions of dollars of medical care and supplies, food and water, and emergency shelter without any conditions whatsoever. Our Christian faith compels us — like the biblical Good Samaritan — to love and serve everyone in need, regardless of their faith or background.
The organization’s mission statement says it all:
Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
New York City kicks Samaritan’s Purse out
You would think, after the good work that Samaritan’s Purse did in New York, a thank-you might be in order, but apparently, some New Yorkers don’t think that way. Congresspeople like Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney were ungrateful enough to question Mt. Sinai’s partnership with Samaritan’s Purse.
According to the New York Post:
Four local Democratic members of Congress — Reps. Jerry Nadler, Carolyn Maloney, Adriano Espaillat and AOC — sent a letter to Mount Sinai expressing their “concern” about the group’s efforts and demanding to know how it had received permission to operate in Central Park.
City Council Speaker Corey Johnson went further demanding that Mt. Sinai cut ties with Samaritan’s Purse:
This group, which is led by the notoriously bigoted, hate-spewing Franklin Graham, came at a time when our city couldn’t in good conscience turn away any offer of help. That time has passed. Their continued presence here is an affront to our values of inclusion, and is painful for all New Yorkers who care deeply about the LGBTQ community. Mount Sinai must sever its relationship with Samaritan’s Purse.
Under pressure, Mt. Sinai did cut ties and Samaritan’s Purse is packing up its field hospital to go where ever it may be needed. I think it would be fitting if they shook off the dust off their feet against New York City as they go.

Our Heavenly Father has instilled his love and grace on our god sent Frank Graham as he did with his Father Billy Graham, these actions against a man of God and his love of the lord to do his for those who are in need, this will be an action that all who has condemned this organization will answer for when thy all stand before the lord to be judged, I would wonder if it was Jesus himself doing these good works if thy would have treated him the same way.
AMEN, John! And to answer your last question, knowing how anti-God and Christ these demented Democrats are, I say yes — they WOULD treat our Savior, Jesus Christ, the very same way, and laugh while they were doing it. 🙁
They probably would have sent jesus away. Those heathens should be told to pound sand the next time they need help
New Yorkers are arrogant jerks who think they are the only people on earth, just ask them.
AMEN!!
The problem with the representative in New York is that they are a bunch of jerks and so of the most hateful people in the nation. I believe that Karma will get to them in good time and their thinking will doom them forever. This jerks would probably tell Jesus and Sister Theresa to take their loving and helpful help to get out of town. One day, and I promise it will come, this jerks will go down the sewer that they live in mentally.
If the New Yorkers don’t want outside help except on their own terms then let them do everything for themselves with no outside help on anything, especially like sheltering illegal immigrants, etc.
THEY WERE SURE QUICK TO GRAB ALL THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES THAT PRESIDENT RUSHED TO THEM, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT AT ALL PREPARED FOR THE VIRUS,, AND THEY TOOK ALL THE FEDERAL FUNDS SENT THEIR WAY TOO.. THAT ENTIRE LIBERAL DEM BUNCH RUNNING NY ARE THE MOST UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE.
Why are the illegals here? One big reason is votes. Why do they keep advocating amnesty? Again votes! The Peoples Demonratic Party in action and our Public Indoctrination centers have did a good job of turning our youth into Commies!
Also do not send them any more money. Have Como give them the money HAHA
Yolanda Martinez
They are so ridiculous,. Do not help anymore. They are ungrateful.
For a state poor mouthing every other breath & whose leadership is lacking in so many ways, you would think they’d be grateful for any help. They should be ashamed!!
It’s rediculous! Samaritan Purse is a strong Christian organization that shows up when they’re needed to do what others probably won’t! They should be left alone!!They have a job to do! Should be appreciated!!
I wonder if an athiest group or muslim based organization were doing the same work as Samaritan’s Purse the New Yorkers who demanded they (SP) leave would also treat athiests and muslims the same? Surely not!
They wouldn’t have the balls.
Typical stupidity and hypocrisy from the left! God will win in the end! Amen.
We forgive them they do know what they are doing.
Reading that story on NYC I couldn’t help wondering if a majority were democrats? Sounds like the ungrateful, belligerent, and nonworking, whining, individuals on the Hill that call themselves demos.
Sure sounds familiar.
Yes, majority New Yorkers are Democrats. California is number 1 cheater in election, then New York is number 1 but plus
There is a Satanic Temple in NYC.
That’s why Cuomo signed into law to kill babies because Satan requires pure blood, and it has to be coming from babies.
The witch is in NY, and Democrats’ master is also in NY.
Those Samaritans went to the nest of Satanists, they won’t
like it.
This proves what GODLESS people those New Yorkers are! Shame to those who are ungreatful!
It is hard not to return hateful attitudes toward those who criticize good works by whomever because of their misguided hateful opinions. However, in this case I am tempted to return hateful treatment for hateful treatment. Despite this I pray for enlightenment for those espousing hatred and ask GOD for forgiveness and a change of attitude on their part. Hopefully, GOD will see fit to answer my prayers.
This is an example of the dog biting the hand feeding it. These people do not appreciate others helping at no cost to them.
This is so sad. Must not have.. any Christian people to help others in a constrsphy. They were blessed to have help from Franklin Graham !
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but the truth is, I am appalled. IIt’s a shame that the hateful individuals who make the rules for places like NYC should deny desperately sick individuals the selfless care they have been getting through the Samaritan’s Purse ministry. God bless Franklin Graham and all of the medical personnel who have served there so freely and tirelessly. Praying for open doors where their work will be appreciated, not just by the patients and their families, but also by those in the government sector.
THOSE SO CALLED PEOPLE ARE EXACTLY LIKE THE BIBLE DESCRIBES IN SODOM & GOMORRAHA . I PRAY THAT GOD WILL FIND ENOUGH GOOD PEOPLE THAT THE CITY MAY BE SPARED FROM HIS WRATH HOWEVER THE EVIL DEMONS THAT ARE THERE WILL NOT BE SPARED. BEWARE HIS WRATH IS MIGHTY!!!! 🙏🙏😢😢
Amen Vickie.
Maybe Samaritan’s Purse should send Cuomo & DeBlasio a bill for all their costs for coming to help New York. I don’t think any of those New York idiots will ever go before God because of their atrocious actions. The devil is probably very proud of them. Ungrateful dumocraps.
Another SODOM & GEMMORRAHA. I pray GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON THE GOOD PEOPLE THERE but BEWARE OF GOD’S WRATH TO THE LOST & EVIL. HIS JUDGEMENT IS SWIFT & JUST TO THOSE THAT TURN AWAY FROM HIM. 🙏🙏🙏😢😢💕💕
Carol Calle There is a promise in the Bible spoken by God Himself. Isaiah 55:11 ” So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.
Not to worry, God sent Samaritan’s Purse Team to do His bidding and to be sure God’s word was spoken with much love to many a frightened heart. Every bit of that work was done in His Name, Franklin and his team understand that the folks they served were not the ones who dismissed them. Their work was complete and God will carry it on. God has also said. Deuteronomy 32:35 ‘To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time…”
Please stop the bitter words. Let it in God’s hands. He will handle it just fine.
Evil is pervasive in NYC government. When God cannot find a minimum of praying Christians to keep it protected, it will be destroyed as predicted in Sodom & Gommorah. Rev. Graham, follow the advice provided in Matthew 10:14 (shake off the dust from your feet) and Matthew 7:6 (do not cast your pearls before swine). Thank you for touching lives in NYC even if evil politicians have hampered God’s work. Judgement day will bow their knees – but not spare them from Hell at that time.
First Cuomo kissed the Muslims and put them first above the rest. Then he decided to degrade the Jews. Then when a Christian Group came to his rescue to serve the people of NYC Cuomo decided not to thank them but delete them from his city. Cuomo is a facist and needs a good lesson in truth and love. He sure as heck will not get it from this Country, only from the brainwashed left. He is just kidding himself if he thinks he is getting somewhere with his stupity.
Cuomo is a CINO (Catholic In Name Only). He is a Luciferian, babies’ killer. Sure, he has to kiss the Muslims, they’re worshipping the same gOd called Satan or Lucifer. Killing lives is their Faith.
Atypical of that part of the country of selfish,thankless people and their more than poor, ignorant leaders

I am the business owner of JustCBD company (justcbdstore.com) and I am currently trying to broaden my wholesale side of business. I really hope that anybody at targetdomain give me some advice . I considered that the best way to accomplish this would be to reach out to vape stores and cbd stores.
