As the world faces an ever-growing climate crisis, our neighbours in the Pacific, Asia and Africa are living with its devastating impacts. Families are being displaced by disasters, lands are becoming infertile and clean water is becoming harder to find and store. For those already living in poverty, these challenges are immense, and the chance to rebuild after disasters can feel impossible without help.
That’s where you come in.
Lent Event invites you and your church/community to take 40 days of faith-filled action for God’s creation. It’s an opportunity to stand in solidarity with our international church partners, helping to create real, lasting change in communities at the frontlines of climate change.
Why Lent Event?
Lent Event is a great way to bring meaningful change into your Lenten season, no matter what you already have planned. Through storytelling, prayer, and action, your church can engage with communities like those in Tonga, who are rebuilding their lives after climate disasters.
Folau, a survivor of the 2022 volcanic eruption and tsunami in Tonga, shares his story of survival and hope. “Even though we faced this hardship, God has given us a new land, new houses. My hope is that as we move here, we become a community that helps each other, loves one another and builds a great future for our children…”
This Lent, you can help make that hope a reality.
How to get involved:
- Help us reach our fundraising target
Your church’s generosity will empower communities like Folau’s to build resilience, improve livelihoods and prepare for future disasters. - Show our video series
Share stories of resilience and faith with your congregation by screening our Lent Event video series. These videos are perfect for Sunday services, small groups, or Lenten reflections. - Take the ‘40 for the Future’ challenge
Encourage your congregation to take 40 days of practical action for the planet—small steps like reducing food waste, using sustainable transport, or cutting back on energy use. These actions not only support our global neighbours but also raise vital funds for communities in need.
