Christian Aid looking for new generation of activists

by Tola Mbakwe

The relief and developmental agency has encouraged such people to apply for Christian Aid Collective's special event this summer called the Holy Hack.

Hannah Henderson from the group said: "Christian Aid Collective is a movement for change, challenging the systems that keep people poor.

"So we're calling 18-35 year old believers to come together for a day and put their skills and faith in action. They'll hear talks from inspiring activists. They'll work with others who share their passion for social justice."

While the event will have a relaxed atmosphere with worship and food, there are hopes that after some collaboration the attendees will come up with an innovative way to fight against global poverty.

"From civil rights to fair trade, the Church has a rich heritage of fighting for the rights of others and now it's a new generation's turn to pick up the torch," Henderson added.

The event will take place on 2nd June 2018 in central London. Applications can be submitted through Christian Aid Collective's website. The charity is looking for 72 people.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
