International Development Week 2025

We celebrate what God has done as we key into 1 Chronicles 16: "Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!" In the collection of stories below, we have the joy of sharing the great work God has brought about in the places where we have participated with the local church around the world. We celebrate His goodness and the lives that are transformed.

Demonstrating the Good News

Development happens when a community mobilizes their resources to meet their needs, as defined by them. A community decides what must be done. Then, as they recognize the resources they already have, and as they see that God equips them to solve their own problems, the attitude of the community turns to hope [7 Resources Brochure, 2019].

You can support this kind of development.
