God is doing more then we can imagine
Everywhere we turn, it seems there are communities in conflict and chaos around our world. We hear of families being separated from their homes, or even each other, because of disasters. Maybe it is a volcanic eruption in Indonesia, or wars and political turmoil in Syria and East Africa, or the ongoing violence in Central America. Every day we hear of such news, and our hearts pull us toward God.
In the midst of suffering and uncertainty, God pulls us close to Him, and uses us to be compassionate when we see the suffering of others. We, the church, are called to show God's compassion and help rebuild and create a better world for all.
The world we are being called to create may seem beyond what we can now imagine. But it is a world that God can imagine.
Through One Great Hour of Sharing we are creating, together, a world where families have access to clean water, education and medical care, and where they can find new places to live without being persecuted. The goal of One Great Hour of Sharing is a world where there is Shalom — peace and harmony. And you are making that possible. You are making a reality of what God imagines for this world.
Thank you for your generous gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing. Together we are transforming lives in more ways than we can imagine.
"Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly for more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
