The year 2020 was unlike any year we have witnessed in our lifetime. Record-breaking fires on the west coast of the U.S. devastated communities and burned millions of acres. An extremely active hurricane season brought destruction to the Gulf Coast. A massive explosion in Beirut displaced
thousands of individuals. All these events happened during the prolonged COVID-19 global pandemic. We are living in a time of uncertainty greater than that with which we are familiar. And yet, even with so much that is unclear about the future, one thing is certain: through this ministry of One Great Hour of Sharing, you continue to Let Love Flow. |

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every area of our lives. It has also touched every area of the work of One Great Hour of Sharing: sustainable development, disaster relief, and refugee support. With so many
in need, your compassion is more important than ever. In 2021, we have many challenges. Not only does the world need to recuperate from the global pandemic, disasters will continue to occur. Displaced populations remain vulnerable. And hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle under the weight of poverty. Thanks to your faithfulness and generosity, One Great Hour of Sharing will continue to respond.
Events of the past year have shown us that even in times when we cannot be physically together in one place, our offerings to support One Great Hour of Sharing continue to strengthen our church’s presence all
over the world: providing water to the thirsty, food for the hungry, and hope for the weary. When you give to One Great Hour of Sharing, you “Let Love Flow.” Your generosity ensures that, even during uncertainty, the
transforming power of love continues to change the world. For more information, go to: www.abc-oghs.org. This offering will be collected in the month of August. Consider this vital ministry.

SharingThe theme for this year is from I Corinthians 3:9 “For we are coworkers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.” We do not live or act alone. We are a community of believers. By sharing our resources that God has blessed us with, we can show the love of Christ to individuals and communities around the world who suffer the effects of disaster, conflict, or severe economic hardship. The OGHS Offering is a tangible way that American Baptists can provide for the human needs of our world.
