- Some 120 million people worldwide are displaced - a staggering reality that only refugees themselves truly comprehend. To promote understanding of their journey, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and one of its humanitarian collaborators, ShelterBox, organized a demonstration on August 3, 2024.
This event highlighted the trials and possibilities encountered by displaced individuals across the globe.
At a Salt Lake City conference for thousands of single adult Latter-day Saints ages 18 to 35, ShelterBox showcased different types of tents it provides to those affected by disasters and conflicts. Some 100 conference goers, separated into groups of six, participated in a ShelterBox “tent challenge” and assembled a tent - just as refugees learn to do in the wake of a ferocious storm or the outbreak of war.
“We are honored to participate with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this unique and meaningful event,” said ShelterBox USA President Kerri Murray. “The tent challenge offers an incredible opportunity for young adults to experience firsthand the challenges faced by those in need of emergency shelter. We hope to inspire participants to take action and support our mission to provide vital relief to families affected by disasters.”
When we help each other together we are able to accomplish big things xx Thank You for all the members who work with those who need our help. God Bless our prophet and apostles and everyone in the peacemakers 🌍🇬🇧🦋
Absolutely love this! Just one more excellent reason I love paying my tithing and fast offerings ~ I know those dollars are well spent and really can make a difference, even when I don't personally have the capacity to physically go and do. (I'm just a few hours away from a pretty serious surgery that has the potential to let me head to the other side of the veil...get a change of address...let my relatives experience green jello and funeral potatoes.....you know ~ sorta serious, lol)
Anyway, it's just so awesome to see the youth going forward with light and knowledge and the desire to do good.
And it's not like there are just one or two of them ~ we have soooooo many good upstanding righteous youth!❤❤ Maybe not perfect (who is!) But DEFINITELY just AMAZING, and on the right trajectory! ❤❤❤❤
My heart is happy! ❤❤
I have peace ❤
Awesomeness
Thank you The Church of Jesus Christ
