Does your church desire to serve unreached people overseas? World Concern partners with churches to bring the love of Christ in action to the world’s poorest people. Take part in transforming lives in some of the most remote, difficult places in the world. Bring hope to communities struggling after war, disaster or oppressive governments.
Here's what one pastor has to say about partnering with World Concern:
"World Concern is an amazing organization that our church is privileged to partner with. We have been blessed tremendously in witnessing their dedication to work in some of the toughest parts of the world and their commitment to ministry that integrates Christ’s love for the world in both word and deed. I have seen firsthand their professionalism meeting the highest standards of excellence for international development practice, placed alongside their loving commitment to the global church in a desire to see the body of Christ equipped to bless and serve their local community in ways that are both meaningful and desperately needed.
We are excited to continue partnering with them in the years to come as we seek to display Christ’s love in meaningful ways to a hurting world."
– Josh Butler, Pastor of Global Outreach and Worship at Imago Dei Community

The paradigm-shifting book—When Helping Hurts—has caused many churches and ministry leaders to ask: What do we do next in our efforts to help people who are poor at home and abroad? How can we shift our efforts from dependency to empowerment? How can we get our entire ministry network on the same page?
In response, the co-authors of the book—Dr. Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett of the Chalmers Center for Economic Development—are offering a one-day, regional training seminar entitled Helping Without Hurting: The Next Step.
Join World Concern at this insightful workshop, June 23, 2012, in Everett, Wash. Click here for more information and to sign up.

Are you looking for a way to help children learn to carry out Christ’s mission to care for the poor and the hurting in this world?
World Concern is excited to introduce a creative outreach project, the Kids 44-Cent Cure Outreach Project. Specifically designed for VBS and Sunday school classes, the Kids’ 44-Cent Cure Outreach Project uses World Concern’s successful 44-Cent Cure (the cost of curing a child from intestinal parasites in an impoverished country) to introduce children to helping others by collecting coins.

In many of the hot and dry climates where World Concern works, growing vegetables for food is a constant struggle. People often walk long distances to wells, making water a precious resource that must be used sparingly.
Sack gardens use very little water to help families grow fresh vegetables and improve their diets.
