Lent Event Mission
Statement
Lent Event’s primary
goal is to participate as an ambassador of Christ in the
reconciliation of the creation to God. Poverty exists because our
brokenness as individuals and communities and overcoming poverty is
only possible through the reconciling and resurrecting power of God
in Christ.
Lent Event
Philosophy
The Lent Event
philosophy is to encourage individuals and communities to
intentionally reflect on the place of Christ within their lives as
part of a continual reordering of priorities and values in the
likeness of Christ that is the journey of discipleship. Lent event
informs, motivates and involves First World communities in the
practice of forgoing, during the Lenten period, something that they
enjoy and giving the monetary value to the world’s
neediest people.
Vision for
Growth
We pray that Lent
Event will expand year by year as more community groups become
involved. Our goal is that Lent Event becomes a popular
global movement that inspires individuals to participate and draws
communities together.
