Until All Are Fed

Hunger Advocacy in Action

New Journey’s Red Door now features updated ELCA World Hunger resources, including a report from Kris Bartanen on the 2025 ELCA Hunger Leadership Gathering held in Columbus, Ohio.

Highlights from the Gathering:

• 🎥 Advent Resources: A new 28-minute film, Intersections, explores hunger through justice lenses—migrant, environmental, racial, gender, and economic. It’s paired with a 3-part Advent study focused on Cambodia, Mexico, and Milwaukee.

• ✝️ 40-40-40 Lenten Challenge (Feb. 18–Apr. 2, 2026):

  • Daily devotions based on Matthew 25:37

  • Weekly advocacy actions

  • Proposed matched donations to ELCA Good Gifts

• 🌱 Service-Learning:

  • Visits to Mid-Ohio Farm Collective and Church for All People

  • Hands-on learning about food access, housing, and health care

  • Dinner at St. Philip Church, a hunger grant partner

• 🛠️ Ministry Fair & Workshops:

  • Introductions to hunger ministries across the U.S. and abroad

  • Panel on BIPOC inclusion in hunger justice

  • Advocacy sessions led to a signed letter for ELCA staff to present to public officials
