CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH: Celebrating the victories of Joining Hands and its alliances
0Comments

Central Presbyterian Church issued the following announcement on April 1.

‘We’re doing exactly what Matthew 25 is calling the whole church to do’

Two longtime members of Joining Hands, an international ministry of the Presbyterian Hunger Program, shared memories and reflections during a Thursday afternoon broadcast. Watch a clip taken from the broadcast here.

Valéry Nodem, who coordinates Joining Hands for PHP, and the Rev. Ellie Stock from the Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy were featured guests on “Join the Movement,” a digital series highlighting Compassion, Peace & Justice ministries and how to connect with them.

Joining Hands is a ministry that challenges systems that perpetuate hunger, poverty and injustice around the world by working closely with partners in places like Peru, Haiti, India and Cameroon to overcome the vestiges of colonization and other issues, such as damage to the environment.

“The really good thing about the work of Joining Hands is … working through alliances” and realizing that in order to make the world a better place, “we need other people,” said Nodem, Associate for International Hunger Concerns for PHP.
