Presbytery of Des Moines - TFD Egypt - and the Presbyterian Hunger Program - partners in a global ministry against hunger and poverty.
Address
General information
The Presbytery of Des Moines voted in 2000 to take part in a new initiative of the Presbyterian Hunger Program—8 presbyteries partnered with 8 different countries around the world—called Joining Hands. We were partnered with Egypt and soon churches, non-governmental organizations and grassroots groups in Egypt were recruited to form the Joining Hands network, Together for Family Development (TFD). They would tackle root causes of hunger and poverty in organized campaigns for country-wide peaceful social change that would have more far-reaching impact than project-based partnerships. As members of the Joining Hands coalition, we support all the other country networks around the globe too, by joining in advocacy campaigns related to trade reform, water privatization, extractive (oil and mining) industries, and food sovereignty. God is at work through these communities of mission practice—Presbyterians and all sorts of organizations worldwide—to address issues of injustice, inequity and lack of human dignity.
