The Church's OUTSTANDING RECENT Humanitarian Initiative
Scripture Central: LDS Come Follow Me & Church HistorySummary
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announces a significant expansion of its humanitarian efforts with a new initiative aimed at improving the health and nutrition of women and children in 12 low-income countries. This initiative, called the Women and Children Initiative, is backed by a $55.8 million investment and will collaborate with nine established humanitarian organizations, including Save the Children and Catholic Relief Services. The program aims to provide essential nutrition and healthcare services to approximately 12 million children and 2.7 million expectant mothers, addressing critical issues such as malnutrition and food insecurity.
The initiative reflects the church's long-standing commitment to humanitarian aid, which has evolved since its early days in the 19th century. Church leaders emphasize the importance of evidence-based interventions to enhance maternal and child health outcomes. This new effort is part of a broader strategy to leverage the church's extensive experience in welfare and humanitarian work, which includes a history of successful projects in various countries.
The church's approach is characterized by collaboration with experienced NGOs and a focus on sustainable development. Leaders within the church, many of whom have significant professional backgrounds, are committed to ensuring that the initiative not only addresses immediate needs but also builds a health ecosystem that fosters long-term improvements in community health. The first progress report on the initiative is expected to be released in about a year, showcasing the impact of these efforts on vulnerable populations.

Nearly every Christmas, we hear the familiar words from Handel’s Messiah: “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Yet, these words were not written by Handel, but instead by the ancient prophet Isaiah. A prophecy that foretold the coming of Jesus Christ as the bringer of peace. In this video we go over the announcement of the angels to the shepherds of "peace on earth," of the teachings of Jesus about peace at the Last Super, and how Jesus gave us true peace through his death on the cross and resurrection.If you benefited from this production and would like to offer a contribution, please visit our sponsor, Scripture Central, to make a donation.
