ELCA World Hunger and Advocacy in the Florida Bahamas Synod

The Florida Bahamas Synod has had an active role in the ELCA World Hunger Program for many years.  Due to the commitment of many congregations to the fight against hunger and poverty around the world, the Florida Bahamas Synod lead the country in contributions per baptized member to ELCA World Hunger.  These funds are used in relief efforts and  sustainable development projects all over the world, including domestically in our own communities.  ELCA World Hunger partners with organizations such as Lutheran World Relief , Lutheran World Federation, and ELCA Global Mission companion synods, and local congregations to make contributions go farther than they could working alone.  The focus is always on creating ways to empower people living in poverty to create better lives for themselves and their families for generations to come.

ELCA Advocacy is a way that congregations can be the voice for those living in poverty around the world, helping people by assisting to change root causes of why so many people live in poverty around the world and in our own communities.

The Florida Bahamas Synod offers many resources and assistance in planning and implementing poverty education and advocacy programs, workshops, bible studies, youth group activities, and even VBS and Sunday School programs to educate congregations on  hunger issues and how we can be a part of the solution.
