Convoy of Hope




Sunset Chapel and Sunset Christian Academy launches initiative to fight hunger and poverty around the world!
We are partnering with humanitarian aid organization Convoy of Hope in a campaign to help feed the impoverished around the world!

Our “One-Day” to Feed the World campaign is November 18th a united act of compassion to help the poor and suffering!  Every dollar contributed to Convoy of Hope can provide up to $7 worth of food and supplies that is delivered through Convoy of Hope’s children’s feeding programs, community outreaches and disaster relief efforts.

My heart and vision is to see our church and school reach-out locally, nationally and globally – Jesus said “if you have done it to one of the least of these you have done it to me”

Locally we are distributing Thanksgiving baskets full of food to some families making sure they have all they need to have a Thanksgiving meal for their families this year. If you would like to donate to this act of compassion please bring your food items to the church between now and Sunday, Nov. 18th. Call the church office for more information 305-271-4094

Nationally, this ministry faith-based organization is responding to the Hurricane Sandy devastation that occurred in the New York/NewJersey area.  They are fast at work bringing emergency food, water, ice, and supplies to victims of this disaster!  They have distributed already 150 tons of food to affected areas.  The need is great, extensive and long lasting!

Globally we are asking everyone to join us in Giving ONE DAYS WAGES on November 18th to help us feed children around the world as well as sending supplies to areas that have suffered disasters.

Just think, with just “one day”, you and your family can make a world of difference in a child's life. The difference between hungry and happy. The difference between a grimace and a grin. All it takes is one day's worth of wages to make that kind of difference. One day like any other. One day of compassion. One day of sharing. One Day To Feed The World!  

Are you asking:  “WHAT CAN I DO?”

Can you give One Day of your life? Work One Day - Give One Day!   Join us and many more on November 18th as we donate “one days” wages to assist this ministry in feeding the impoverished around the world! You may bring your donation to church with you that morning or go to our website and give online by clicking here.  SC ONLINE GIVING  Please Mark your envelope or online donation as "ONEDAY" other field.
