Just Faith
Hunger: A Faith & Justice Response
How do I put into action the need for social change in my community?
Hunger: A Faith & Justice Response is an 8-session small group program by JustFaith Ministries. The program seeks to create a new movement of solidarity between Christians with sufficient access to food and those experiencing food insecurity, both in the U.S. and around the world. By fostering active listening, dialogue, and prayer, it creates a group experience of trust and compassion. Using new learning from articles, online viewing, and a resource book, it lends new insights to participants’ awareness of the causes and consequences of food insecurity. By encouraging new spiritual practices and actions, it cultivates an expanding community of Christians who are in action to end hunger in our world.
