The world is changing and those living in the poorest countries are being hit the hardest
The past few years we have been trying to adapt our programming to the ever-changing weather patterns around the world, but we just can’t keep up. There has been a drought in Borena, Ethiopia for the past 3 years, people are digging holes the same height as themselves in fill up a coffee cup of water to survive. These are not humane living conditions.

Caring for creation is grounded in the reality that we are made in God’s image
We are relational beings, lovingly made in the image of the triune God of grace. When we see and understand the world as God does, recognizing how much we depend on other creatures to eat, breathe, and flourish, then at a most fundamental level this affects how we relate to God, to others, and with the rest of creation.

Together for Freedom: How partnering makes us stronger
What do you think of when you hear the word “slavery”? Most likely, an image involving a plantation in the southern United States or a Caribbean island comes to mind. Although this is not inaccurate, and is certainly part of the history of slavery, it’s far from the current reality. The British Empire abolished the slave trade in 1807, but slavery still exists. It looks a little different and it’s hidden from public view, but slavery, especially in the form of sexual exploitation, is just as present today. In fact, today's technology makes sexual exploitation even easier — almost like buying used furniture.

From Surviving to Thriving: How partnership makes creates economic opportunities
Suku Mijar was born into the dalit caste in Nepal. In the eyes of society, that makes her an outcast. In Suku’s very remote dalit village, poverty’s oppression puts young and old at risk of exploitation and deeper suffering. Suku and her husband were unable to earn or grow enough to feed their family regularly. Anything other than daily survival was out of reach.
