SNEAK PEEK: A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP EATON

“ELCA World Hunger is a great example of how we are church together and church for the sake of the world. I have witnessed firsthand the impact of ELCA World Hunger on communities around the world. During a trip to the Yunnan province of China, I had the opportunity to visit with the Lisu people at a farm where they grew medicinal herbs to help support their families with food and clothing. The partnership with ELCA World Hunger changed traditional farming methods to help lift people out of poverty. We are grateful for the generosity of ELCA members and others who have responded to God’s promise of a just world where all are fed. We look forward to the next 50 years of transformational work through ELCA World Hunger.”

— Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton
