When we hear of a global emergency, our minds often jump to “How can we help?” Your gifts to Mission and Service enable partners to immediately get to work providing crucial basic needs: food, water, shelter, and medication. But after the initial response, and after headlines fade away, the emergency and urgency remain.
After the immediate shock lessens, people living in the wake of a disaster can have difficulty imagining what life will look like down the road. In these times, hope is essential. By giving us the motivation to keep moving forward, hope is a powerful force that inspires us to keep going.
Mission and Service partner the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) continues to be hard at work providing hope. People in Syria are still experiencing the devastating aftermath of the February 2023 earthquakes.
From retrofitting buildings and providing medical equipment to education and trauma healing, MECC is dedicated to sustainable relief.
In Aleppo, MECC rehabilitated four schools before the academic year launched in September 2023, providing children with a safe place to learn.
Thank you for supporting the work of our Mission and Service partners. Your generosity is a beacon of hope during challenging times.
