CWRD Update

The Winter 2024 Covenant World Relief & Development newsletter (CWRD Update) focuses on advocacy to empower lasting change through engaging with policymakers and leveraging networks to influence policies relating to world hunger and sex trafficking.

The newsletter describes CWRD’s partnership with Bread for the World, a nonpartisan Christian organization that works with leaders of Congress to combat hunger internationally and domestically. Led by ordained Covenant minister Rev. Eugene Cho, Bread’s efforts address policies affecting national and global food and nutrition security.

Also detailed in the newsletter is CWRD’s FREE initiative, launched in 2021. Working against sex-trafficking, FREE is a collaboration of partnerships that includes 10 projects in the United States and around the world.

Read the CWRD Director’s editorial and more in the newsletter here. Our church will collect the Cans for Change in support of CWRD on Easter Sunday, March 31.
