As the church prepares to observe All Saints Day, Week of Compassion lifts up the life of a saint who recently passed from this life to life eternal. Her lifetime of service and good stewardship leaves a legacy of compassion that will continue changing lives for many years to come. Diane passed away in December of 2019. But through an endowment fund with the Christian Church Foundation, Diane’s faith will continue to support Week of Compassion for generations to come. Those early experiences with travel and connections to global relationships truly shaped her life and values. Now, her legacy of generosity and compassion will continue to shape the world. With the gift of a lifetime, Diane’s estate helps position Week of Compassion to have a significant impact in responding to the unique needs of our time and the challenges of a changing world. Imagine that you have to travel far from home in order to find work to support your family. You find a job in the city, and a place to stay, so that you can work and send money home to your loved ones. But then, a global pandemic shuts down the economy. There is no longer work, and you must leave the city to return home. It isn’t safe to travel- but the crowded city is unsafe as well, and you will have nowhere to stay since you are no longer working. |
