Welcome
to the Lent Event Website
Lent
Event is a community event to eradicate extreme poverty. It is
journey of the mind body and spirit that can bring about community
and personal transformation. During Lent participants make a
material sacrifice while extending the mind through education and
renewing the spirit through prayer.
The
money saved through personal sacrifice goes to support overseas aid
projects assisting some of the worlds neediest
people.

There
is a dream in the heart of God – to seek and save whatever is lost
and to restore whatever is broken.
God
is speaking of this dream through the global movement to overcome
extreme poverty, calling us to respond to this tragedy of our
times.
Lent Event
is a Uniting
Church movement supporting Uniting Church Overseas Aid to
overcome extreme poverty.
Lent Event is a
God-inspired community movement aiming to alleviate world poverty
by challenging those of us who live in the first world to
re-evaluate our priorities and our use of God's resources. Lent
Event is about inviting God to shape our lives more fully with
his love and compassion. Through Lent Event we express this
love and compassion to the world's desperately poor, to give them a
future filled with hope. At the same time, we receive the blessing
of a life lived more closely with God.
We
experience the change in ourselves as we help God to change the
world.
