2023 Year in Review1/18/2024 responding with compassion around the worldEach and every day, something catches our attention. Down the street, across the nation, throughout the world - Conflict. Disaster. Uncertainty. Illness. Emergency. It seems endless, and more than we can bear. And yet. Down the street, across the nation, throughout the world - Compassion. Generosity. Imagination. Possibility. Hope. It proves endless, and more than we can imagine. As the world continues to shake beneath us, compassion holds us fast. Where damage and loss could drag us under, generosity abounds to lift us up. While storms rearrange our lives, imagination stirs our future. When calamity disrupts and challenge overwhelms, possibility lights a path. Where all seems lost, hope can yet be found. With every prayer and offering, each coinbox and map pin, because Disciples have said the only way to move is toward wholeness for all of us, Week of Compassion - the whole church - you, Disciples, are there. With this map and list, explore the places and ways your compassion has brought transformative hope, responding to needs throughout 2023. We hope you’ll share this with your congregation, and join us in prayer, as we renew our mission to work with partners to alleviate suffering throughout the world, toward a vision where God’s people transform suffering into hope.
