The pain of hunger is a reality for many across the world today who are living below the poverty line. How can we help?
We can give to the PCI’s World Development Appeal to support Tearfund projects in Rwanda, Malawi, Bangladesh, Uganda and Burkina Faso and Christian Aid projects in Honduras, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and also Burkina Faso.
The lead project this year is in Rwanda, where Tearfund is working through the Presbyterian Church in Rwanda to bring not only practical help but also the gospel.
This is Delphine. You can learn about how Tearfund has helped her to regain her dignity and help her to support her family and send them to school. Click the link: Delphine’s Story: Hunger Pains-Scarcity to Abundance
The World Development Appeal is unique in that all money donated goes to Tearfund and Christian Aid to help with various projects around the world. The money donated is not ‘relief aid’, although this is in itself is very necessary at times. No, the money goes to development – helping people through local technology to help themselves.
Please give generously to help alleviate poverty through this sustainable development. Donations can be sent to our church office at 35-37 Main St. Groomsport, BT19 6JR or Word Development Appeal Envelopes, which are available in the church foyer can be placed in the offering plate during Sunday services.
As Christians, we endeavor to follow Jesus’ example. By supporting the World Development Appeal, we can shine a light into darkness and show God’s encompassing love to those most in need.
