Lent, in the Christian church, is a period of spiritual preparation for Easter.In Western churches it begins on Ash Wednesday, six and a half weeks before Easter, and provides a 40-day period for fasting and abstinence, in imitation of Jesus Christ’s fasting in the wilderness before he began his public ministry.
Our Lenten Appeal calls the church to give sacrificially both financially and through prayer and petition. Each year, we partner with you to raise funds for three projects that directly contribute to the health, wellbeing and development of the communities and people involved.
This Lent, we’re supporting projects in Fiji, Northern Ethiopia and The Middle East.
- In Fiji, we’re supporting the Mud Brick Project
- In Northern Ethiopia, we’re supporting the Bricks for Life project
- In the Middle East, we’re supporting the School Heating Project
