Vibrant and fruitful,
Sheltering and comforting.

Week 6: Walking through Holy Week


"As we make the road into the holy city of Jerusalem, we walk alongside Jesus riding a colt, his disciples shouting praises, making a scene and drawing a crowd. Across the city, another powerful leader makes his entrance. . . Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Idumea, Judea, and Samaria. Son of the Living God, let us not be confused about who you are and the road you lead us down. "

Millions of people lack access to sustainable food sources, clean water, sanitation, education, and opportunity.

The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing - Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People - all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope.
