God called all to these three things in Micah 6:8.
We live it, so others may have it. We share it, so it too can be shared.
ADRA works with people in poverty and distress to create just and positive change through empowering partnerships and responsible actions. Fueled by faith and guided by prayer, ADRA has served our brothers and sisters for over 60 years. When our pioneers started packing supplies for families in 1956, our belief in people was the same as it is now: All people were created by God to thrive. It’s a simple approach to serving humanity but one that now spans the globe, impacting lives in more than 130 countries. No matter the location, language or challenge, we strive for the same thing a world in which all people may live life as God intended. A life filled abundantly with justice, mercy, and love.
Justice, so that every action is chosen for the impact it will have on others. We are called to an understanding that every child of God deserves not only the necessities of food, water, and shelter, but the opportunity to be the unique individual they were created to be.
Mercy, because no one should carry their burden alone. In turn, a life blessed with mercy realizes more generosity. A commitment to serving others brings the best out in yourself and those around you.
And love. The God who calls us asks for a love with no limitations, a love so strong that all may see the reflection of God’s character in our service, and a love that is made real through actions, big and small, worldwide and at home, defined by compassion.
