SEE HOW YOUR PARTNERSHIP IS MAKING A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS FOR HURTING PEOPLE.
Advent reminds us that God does not remain distant from a hurting world. God comes near—and invites us to participate in the work of hope, healing, and restoration.
All around us, communities are navigating conflict and displacement, hunger and poverty, catastrophic disasters, and the growing effects of climate change. For many, the path forward feels uncertain—even impossible.
Yet Scripture reminds us that God is making a way in the wilderness. And we are called to partner in this effort.
Our This Moment Matters initiative is cultivating hope through food security, expanding futures through education, strengthening health, welcoming the stranger, and building peace.
With the help of your generosity, we’re partnering with God in making a way in the wilderness—a way toward relief for those facing urgent need, toward healing and recovery for communities in crisis, and toward renewed hope when the path ahead is difficult to see.
BECAUSE OF YOU, HOPE IS REACHING FURTHER!
When significant U.S. policy shifts and funding cuts left vulnerable communities facing growing needs, you responded with compassion.
Since 2025, your generosity has helped This Moment Matters distribute $38.6 million in aid—cultivating hope through food security, expanding futures through education, strengthening health, welcoming the stranger, and building peace.
May we continue to walk together toward life as we join the Spirit in cultivating hope, healing, and restoration—this holy season and always.
This Moment Matters. Your faithfulness makes it possible.
WHEN GOD COMES NEAR,
HOPE TAKES ROOT
This Moment Matters
Together,
WE CAN MAKE A WAY FORWARD FOR EVEN MORE HURTING PEOPLE IN 2027.
