You can share New Hope in the Name of Christ.
 

Dear Phil and Kelly:

It can sometimes feel like the world is spinning out of control. Like we can't have an impact. But I'm writing to tell you that when you give to MCC, you are making a difference.

In Ukraine, you are touching the lives of people like Larisa Semyonov (pictured with MCC comforter) who have been forced from home by conflict.

Today, more people have fled home because of war and disaster than ever before. We need your help to respond.

And so we invite you to join us in doing even more.

 

MCC was born 100 years ago when Mennonites came together to respond to suffering and hunger in southern Russia (present-day Ukraine). "It was Love reaching out its strong hands across the waters and the plains; across oceans and continents," MCC worker A.J. Miller wrote in 1921.

This was the work of people of faith, people like you, who dug into their own resources to save families they'd never met.

People are still in need, and we believe Jesus is asking us to respond generously from our hearts.

This year, will you give an extra gift to bring New Hope in the Name of Christ to more people now and for generations to come?
