So this video and the Hope40 Challenge is old now, but we keep it up for posterity and as a reminder of what God has done to supply our missionary needs. Josiah’s voice was so high! Super cute. Hiking and biking for 8 days straight just to raise money for our ambulance is a memory our family will cherish forever. And if you keep up with us on social media today, you have seen just how incredibly powerful the fruit of our labor have been through that ambulance. Don’t worry, we’re planning on doing another Hope40 Challenge, so stay tuned to see how you could participate.
This video is an introduction to the Hope 40 Challenge, what it is, and how you can participate. Edwin and Josiah will be embarking on a weeklong (8 days actually) biking and hiking journey. The goal is to raise money for an ambulance for Hope Rescue EMS. And if you’re not familiar with it yet, it’s an organization we founded to provide hospital emergency care for the poor in the Philippines. We encourage as many people to join virtually by doing 40 minute exercises each day of the challenge.

We are Edwin, Amy, Josiah, and Amalie Samson
The Samsons are followers of Jesus Christ who love God and love people. Our goal in life as a family is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. The U.S. based mission organization we belong to is Mission Quest and the community development project we run overseas is called the International Service Corps of Asia. Our assignment is in the Philippines but when we're home, we spend most of our time in Mississippi and California. We aim to live and love as Christ did among “under-served” people groups (primarily Muslims) and multiply the talents God has given us for the Kingdom. We prioritize the poor, disenfranchised, and marginalized. Follow our story and find out how you can help. See what God has already been doing through our Newsletter Archives and rejoice with us!
...we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:1-2

One early morning, Edwin Samson and Sean Ambrose took to the seas with two fishermen (Joseph and Kuya Boy) to document and experience a day in their lives as fishermen. They got the boats ready by 1am and pushed off by 2am. Traveling for 3 hours, they made it to their destination. Though Edwin wanted to use the experience to bond with the men who were a part of the ministry and to better relate to them for discipleship purposes, it was them who taught Edwin how to listen for God's gentle whisper.
