Nearly
fifty years ago, in the devastating aftermath of World War II, a Protestant
minister on nationwide radio challenged members of his church to “raise one
million dollars in one hour” to support war relief and reconstruction
efforts. The minister’s impassioned
plea was a success; and, through the years, Presbyterians and other Christian
denominations across the nation have joined together to share God’s love with
people in need through “One Great Hour of Sharing.” Today,
this united effort of As
Christians, we recognize that the hope we have in Christ is lived out in our
hope for one another. Through “One
Great Hour of Sharing,” we help our sisters and brothers around the world
find hope for a brighter future. “One Great hour of Sharing” not only
strengthens vitally important relief and rehabilitation work of churches
overseas; but it also shows the world the awesome power of Jesus Christ’s
love, demonstrated by the efforts of Christians united by a common cause. Please give generously to “One Great Hour of Sharing.” Blessings
in Jesus Christ’s name, The
Presbytery of This article was adapted
