Sam Galphin
Raleigh, NC
For the past forty-five years I have been closely associated with five world faith-based and/or development organizations -- Christian Veterinary Mission, Boy Scouts of America, Heifer Project International, The United Methodist Church, and Freedom Global. I have led or participated in dozens of trips for these agencies, providing service opportunities for hundreds of participants. My hope is to show God’s love and instill in others a “heart for service”.

My passions are my faith-based activities, my family, clients, feeding the world, my profession, and my farms in that order. I have a wife of 45 plus years, three children and five grandchildren with one on the way. Annually I tithe over 10% of my time and treasures and/or participate in veterinary education in order to return something to my world and God’s work. I perceive my God-given role in the world is as a part of the food production system without which none of us can thrive. My role in the Kingdom is to improve the human condition so that people will be receptive to the message of God’s love and to mobilize others for all of the Kingdom’s work.
