A meaningful Christmas gift can help a church grow stronger or give a family new ways to provide for the people they love.

Through Hopeful Gifts for Change, we can come alongside our partners in Latin America and the Caribbean as they support pastors, equip families, and help communities build stronger futures.

In this video, Fabiola Ramírez shares two gifts from the catalogue: training that helps pastors grow in their ministry, and agricultural and business initiatives that help families strengthen food security and create new opportunities for their households.

As you explore these gifts, which one speaks to you? We’d love to hear what stands out!

Christmas giving can be about more than what’s wrapped under the tree. 🎁

Through Hopeful Gifts for Change, we can honour the people we love while coming alongside our global partners and the communities they serve.

From peacebuilding in South Sudan to job skills training for women in India and beekeeping in Bolivia, each gift offers a glimpse of how God is at work around the world.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be exploring some of the gifts in this year’s catalogue and the stories behind them. As you look through the catalogue, which cause or initiative stands out to you? We’d love to hear what resonates with you!

Victor Odinda, CBM Program Officer, invites us to pray for communities affected by war, disease, and displacement across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

His prayer holds before God the people of DR Congo, South Sudan, and Lebanon, along with CBM staff, local churches, health professionals, volunteers, and partners serving in demanding circumstances.

Prayer helps us pay attention to what is changing. It also draws us closer to those responding with courage, wisdom, and compassion.

As we pray, we are invited to stand with CBM’s partners in another practical way. Through a gift to CBM, you participate alongside local leaders as they adapt their work, care for their neighbours, and pursue peace and healing when circumstances shift.

Pray with us. Participate with us. Give today at cbmin.org

Today, on World Food Day, we pause to pray for all those facing hunger around the world.

We’re sharing a prayer from Christina Phillips, Director of Resources and Public Engagement at Canadian Foodgrains Bank, reflecting on the connection between hunger, peace, and justice.

The prayer reminds us that hunger is often made worse by conflict and violence. It calls us to pray for those who lack food, for those who grow it, and for hearts moved by compassion for our neighbours near and far.

As we reflect on the reality of food insecurity around the world, may we continue to work and pray for a world where everyone has enough to eat, communities can live in peace, and the gifts of the earth are shared freely.

As World Food Day approaches, we’re reminded that ending hunger takes all of us working together.

CBM is a member of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a partnership of 15 Canadian churches and church-based agencies working to end global hunger. Through this partnership, we support emergency food assistance and longer-term food-security programs.

This year’s theme, Setting the Table for Peace, reminds us that peace and food security are deeply connected, and that everyone deserves access to nutritious food.

Join us in marking World Food Day at an ecumenical worship service on October 16 at 7 PM ET in St. Matthews Lutheran Church, Kitchener, Ontario, with a livestream available for those joining from afar.

Faithful ministry often requires courage, discernment, and the willingness to adapt.

A women’s empowerment initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo faced several serious security disruptions, including the death of a participant during armed violence, the loss of project resources and livestock, and new barriers that increased costs and affected travel.

Local leaders adjusted schedules, changed meeting locations, and focused their work in safer areas so the project could continue. Despite these difficult circumstances, women continued participating and the initiative still achieved meaningful results.

This is another example of how CBM’s partners respond faithfully when circumstances shift. They know their communities, assess risks carefully, and keep finding responsible ways to serve. CBM stands alongside them.

Through a gift to CBM, you participate in this shared work across Congo and in communities around the world. Give today at www.cbmin.org/appeal/fall-appeal-2026-web/
