Global Farm Challenge resources are now available from ELCA World Hunger to enrich the life of youth and your congregation this summer! As congregations across the ELCA creatively find new ways to engage youth in the ministries of our church, including ELCA World Hunger, we are eager to equip you with new and useful resources.

The goal is to raise $525,000 to equip communities around the world and in the United States with livestock, seeds, tools and training to turn a hungry season into a hopeful season through the Global Farm Challenge. Sign your youth group or whole congregation up to participate, and find fundraising and goal-setting ideas in the resources below.
