From house-to-house collections,
sponsored walks, church
collections and Big Brekkies,
Christian Aid Week brings
kingdom builders from all walks
of life and Christian traditions
together to step out in mission for
the world’s poorest people.
This year the focus is on Haiti.
Haiti is one of the poorest
countries in the world. This makes
it much harder for them to cope with the relentless earthquakes, storms and hurricanes
they endure. The people are resilient, and they’re constantly fighting to survive and
climate change is only making it worse.
In Haiti, Marcelin raised his three daughters alone, amidst the catastrophic natural
disasters of recent years. They’re not just survivors. They’re fighters. But they’re only so
strong. They won’t survive the next hurricane without your help.
This Christian Aid Week, you can be in their corner. You can help them build a home that
will weather the next storm, so they won’t need to fight to survive anymore. Christian
Aid Week unites kingdom builders like you from all walks of life. We step out in mission
for our neighbours like Marcelin, because we believe in life before death. We believe
God’s Kingdom is stronger than the storm.
Please pray for Marcelin and other inhabitants of Haiti and for all those raising money
for Christian Aid this week.
