World Evangelical Alliance Approves Food For The Poor as a Partner
COCONUT CREEK, Fla. (July 25, 2024) – Food For The Poor (FFTP) is proud to announce its approval as a partner of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA).
The WEA is a network of churches in 143 countries that have joined to give a worldwide identity, voice, and platform to more than 600 million evangelical Christians. It is the largest international organization of evangelical churches, with offices at the United Nations in New York City, Geneva, Switzerland, and Bonn, Germany.
The fight against poverty is a major concern of the WEA.
“This partnership will enable us to amplify our voice and extend our reach in advocating for families living in poverty and implementing sustainable development initiatives,” FFTP President/CEO Ed Raine said. “We are honored to join forces with WEA and look forward to the impactful work we will accomplish together.”
The WEA is uniquely positioned to represent an evangelical voice at the United Nations. The WEA has increased its engagement at the U.N., promoting peace and reconciliation, advocating for impoverished communities and people in need, and communicating evangelical beliefs and values.
“Joining the World Evangelical Alliance is an extraordinary opportunity for Food For The Poor,” said Michael Chin Quee, EVP of Church Alliances at FFTP.
“This partnership not only enhances our ability to serve the vulnerable but also aligns us with a global network dedicated to fostering peace, reconciliation, and advocacy for those in need. We are excited about the collaborative potential this partnership holds,” Chin Quee said.
