Barnabas Aid

Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by events across our world. People are predicting a Third World War; some say it has already started. Add to that the starving millions in Ethiopia and other drought-stricken countries, the looming global medical disaster as antibiotics begin to fail, and the island nations gradually disappearing as the sea rises. Add to all those the persecution of faithful Christians in a world of intolerance and hatred.
Whether or not we have personal troubles to bear, the troubles of the world are crushing us all. We are all grieving and mourning. Let us, then, grasp hold of Jesus's promise to provide for those who grieve:
a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. - Isaiah 61:3
Please consider whether you could make an Easter gift to our Victims of Violence Fund, to provide aid for our suffering brothers and sisters.
