Global Stories
ChristCentral is a global family of churches, so although the initial CreationCall team is based in Europe, we hope to partner with organisations and churches across the globe.
Our churches in Zambia are already experiencing devastating changes to their climate. CreationCall seeks to highlight their challenges and use their stories to encourage us all to do more to stop climate change. Through Foundations for Farming and BREADtrust, we want to support the churches that are most hit by environmental changes. Our global connections and interdependence have never been so apparent.
There are already great things happening and we want to share the success stories as well as standing with those who are suffering hardships.
