We Move Together

Hi Friend,

As we enter the final months of 2021, we want to know: How are you doing?

In the midst of ongoing injustice, rising rates of extreme poverty, disasters and mass displacement, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. You may have begun to wonder, is it even possible to create lasting change? I want to respond to Jesus’ call to love and serve the vulnerable. Does anyone else?

We understand how you feel.

And yet, in Acts chapter 17, the apostle Paul writes that God has marked out the appointed times in history and the very places where each of us exists. That’s a powerful thought! And that’s why we invite you to join us as we pause and reflect through the Advent season this year.

JOURNEY WITH US THROUGH ADVENT

In this four-part devotional series, we’ll journey together through the themes of HOPE, PEACE, FAITH and JOY. As we pause to connect with God and one another, we’ll be renewed and reminded that Jesus — God with us, Emmanuel — is still inviting us to be his hands and feet in the world today.

Here’s what to expect when you sign-up:

  • A live kick-off event on December 1st to gather with others from across the World Relief community
  • Weekly devotionals from voices across World Relief sharing prayer, scripture and reflection resources
  • Weekly activities for families to participate together
  • Surprise pre-Advent resources to inspire and prepare your heart

Creating change that lasts isn’t easy, but it’s possible when we move together. Will you join us?

Moving Towards Change Together,
World Relief
