This Moment

MATTERS

WELCOME THE STRANGER, FEED THE HUNGRY AND CARE FOR THE SICK

Because it’s “who is my neighbor,” not “who is my enemy.”

As educational institutions, health care organizations, sustainable livelihoods programs, refugee support agencies, and peace efforts continue to receive less and less U.S. funding, vulnerable families and communities all around the world are put at further risk. Join us in responding to this moment with compassion, courage, and lasting efforts.

AREAS OF FOCUS

We have identified five key areas of urgent need for our response efforts.

Agriculture and Food Security

Love takes root through generosity. Your gift helps people grow more than food. Together, we are empowering communities with training, resources, and tools to strengthen livelihoods and build lasting food security.

Education

Education opens doors to opportunity. Your gift expands access to quality education and equips students with the knowledge and confidence to build brighter futures. Together, we are investing in leadership for the church and world that will strengthen families and communities for generations to come.

Global Health

Good health is essential to living an abundant life. Your generosity supports the training of health professionals, strengthening of local healthcare systems, and prevention and treatment of disease. Together, we can help make a healthier future possible for all.

Migration

A migrant’s journey can be filled with uncertainty, loss, and fear. Your generosity helps displaced people receive compassion, advocacy, and practical support. Together, we can help create a world where every person experiences welcome, dignity, and belonging.

Peace

Peace is more than the absence of conflict. It is something we create through understanding, reconciliation, and shared action. Your generosity helps us come alongside communities around the world to build a more peaceful and just future, turning hope for peace into a lived reality.
