Faith is like light, which should ever be simple and unbending; love is like warmth, which should beam forth on every side and bend to every necessity of our neighbor.
Martin Luther believed that while faith remains steadfast and unchanged, love can bend and transform to meet people where they are at just the right time in the unique way they need.
Your love is powerful!
Your love can meet your neighbors in their hunger, their fear and their greatest need. When you give a gift, your faith is at work and your love is made visible to God’s most vulnerable children right here at home and across the globe. Your love delivers nourishing food, clean water, comforting shelter and lifesaving medical care to your neighbors in critical need.
When tragedy strikes a child and their entire world is turned upside down, they often feel scared and alone. They see their parents and loved ones desperately trying to fix an unfixable situation. They wonder: Will life ever be the same?
In these terrifying moments, your love can be there.
When a pile of ashes fills the yard where a young family used to rock their baby to sleep, your caring heart can cradle them with a safe temporary shelter.
As war rains bombs down on close-knit neighborhoods, completely destroying precious lives and the dreams that enlivened them, your love has the ability to brave the front lines to deliver emergency aid.
In the most remote medical clinics in the world, your love can find a way to fight deadly disease before it’s too late and provide lifesaving resources to prevent illness from recurring.
Our neighbors live in a very uncertain world. Never knowing where their next meal is coming from or when the war will end or how they will ever rebuild after a devastating natural disaster destroys everything they once knew.
But there is one thing they know for sure …
… YOUR LOVE FINDS A WAY.
Your generosity gives your neighbors the ultimate gift — the peace of mind of knowing they are not alone. You give them the hope to believe that a better future is possible because they have a neighbor who answers Jesus’ call to LOVE.
Every time you share your love with your neighbors who need you, you are putting faith into action. Thank you for being Jesus’ hands and feet on Earth through your loving gifts.
