Why Advocate?
At World Relief, our commitment to advocate on behalf of the poor and oppressed is based on the example of Jesus. We believe that such advocacy is an important witness about the character of Jesus to a watching world.
We consider it an essential task to engage and challenge the church, reminding leaders and congregations alike that our Christian faith should compel us to seek justice and mercy for the vulnerable and suffering.
So whatever the changes to policy, our calling and our commitment to advocate on behalf of the orphan, the widow and the stranger among us will not change.
Will you join us?
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute."
- Proverbs 31:8
