We know God can work wonders with small things. A mustard seed; a spark; a child; our faith; or any gift given in love. Each of these small beginnings, when transformed by the spirit, can have a tremendous impact in the world. Week of Compassion is the relief, refugee, and development mission fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and making meaningful response to COVID-19 as well as Hurricane Laura.
