Rebuilding lives. Empowering young people. 💚

After the devastating 2025 tornado in St. Louis, Dream Builders 4 Equity brought local youth together to help neighbors recover—clearing debris, stabilizing damaged homes, and helping displaced families move.

With support from Week of Compassion, their work has reached 28 households, providing practical assistance while giving young people paid opportunities to serve their community.

Because recovery is about more than repairing homes. It’s about neighbors showing up for one another.

Week of Compassion invites all college graduates and current seminarians to participate in a summer immersion program for 10-12 weeks in the summer of 2027. Participant service will focus on short-term recovery, rehabilitation, and resilience projects responding to weather-related and human-caused disasters. The Immersion programs will take place in the Philippines and in Pakistan, where participants will work alongside local humanitarian response partners with existing relationships with Week of Compassion.

📣 This week we are focusing on the Faithful Response Immigration Gathering that was just held in Texas. You’ll get to hear from Bea Morehead of Texas Impact about the ways faith communities can engage policymaking, and from participants in the event about why they signed up, what they are taking home with them, and why your Region should consider hosting a similar event! LOTS of resources from the event posted below.

What does it really mean to show up?

For Week of Compassion summer fellow Amelia, a summer alongside partners in the Philippines offered an answer: build relationships, listen, and respond to what we hear.

In our newest story, Amelia reflects on the people and experiences that reshaped her understanding of accompaniment—and what she will carry with her into ministry.

On World Communion Sunday, we remember that there is always room at Christ’s table.

In a new reflection, Rev. Grace Kozak reminds us that when we gather for Communion, we are connected not only to those beside us, but to siblings in Christ across borders, generations, and circumstances—and called to accompany those carrying the weight of the world’s pain.

Read Grace’s reflection, and continue the conversation through No Longer Strangers, her newsletter sharing personal stories, changing landscapes, and faithful responses to immigrant and refugee concerns.

Humanitarian aid is not just about delivering resources; it is about accompanying, dignifying, and reminding every family that they are not alone.
