Honoring a Legacy of Love and Service: Celebrating Ella Jean Crawford on Founders Day

A Good Samaritan is someone who selflessly shows love, compassion, and care to others, often going out of their way to help those in need, regardless of differences or circumstances. The story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible teaches us the importance of seeing others through the eyes of mercy, stepping in when others step away, and reflecting God's love through our actions. Being a Good Samaritan means embodying kindness, humility, and a willingness to serve, even when it's inconvenient. The impact of such a heart is life-changing, offering hope and healing to those who need it most.

Today, on this Founders Day, we celebrate the lasting legacy of Ella Jean Crawford, whose heart for God and others gave birth to the name Good Samaritan Ministries. Her deep love for the church, children, and helping those in need perfectly embodied the spirit of the Good Samaritan. She believed in living out God's love through service, compassion, and unwavering dedication, inspiring us to continue this mission. Founders Day reminds us of her vision, which was more than a name-it was a divine calling to uplift and serve others.

Her kindness, faith, and tireless work shaped this ministry into a beacon of hope for many. Today, we honor her remarkable contributions and her legacy that continues to guide us. On today, we recognize her for her faith, love, and extraordinary commitment to the work of the lord. Ella Jean Crawford will forever inspire us.
