Des Moines Presbytery Joining Hands with Egypt

As partner congregations of the Des Moines Presbytery Coordinating Team, we are working with our alliance of partner organizations in Egypt, Together for Family Development, to eliminate:

hunger of the mind with literacy training;
hunger of the heart with job training and self-sufficiency skills;
hunger of the soul by helping each other, Christian to Christian and Muslim to Christian, to succeed.

Joining Hands is a program that builds bridges of solidarity between coalitions of churches in the United States and networks of overseas churches, grassroots groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

The focus of this program is to address the inequities and suffering resulting from the spread of globalization around the world, through community education, advocacy, alternative economic activities, lifestyle changes and spiritual grounding.

Joining Hands is an initiative of the Presbyterian Hunger Program.
