How Did We Build Peace in a Pandemic? Like This.
Through your giving, you made incredible impact in communities around the world in 2020!
2020 brought new challenges to us all. As Christians whose mission is to sow peace, justice, and reconciliation in our world, these challenges helped remind us of the importance of this work and of collaborating with our partners of all faiths and backgrounds.
Here's just some of what you accomplished:
CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, KENTUCKY
Many people lost their food security because of reduced or lost income, and you allowed us to help 100+ families a week through a food pantry in California, support local markets by supplying 117 food gift cards to refugee families, and equip 40 families to grow their own food through community gardens.
BOSNIA
33 people of different faith and ethnic backgrounds from around the globe attended the second annual Catalyze "trip" online. They learned from Bosnian peacemakers and other peace experts about the Bosnian War, ending cycles of violence, inter-religious peacebuilding, and practical take-home lessons for any context.
WORLDWIDE
You helped us continue advocacy for the Uyghur people; hold Scriptural Reasoning virtual gatherings for Christians, Muslims and Jews; and address racial reconciliation and other crucial issues in our communities.
