World Relief Campaign 2008
The Social Action Leadership Team (SALT) is the Spirit-led social
justice ministry of the Chapel of the Resurrection in which students in
community seek to embody the Christian call to be the ‘salt of the earth’
(Matt. 5:13). Taking seriously this call, SALT students develop and
practice a Christian theology of social action, and raise awareness and
encourage a Christian response to social justice issues.
As an essential part of this mission, SALT partners with both
international and local communities in order to address critical needs
within those areas. Every year for the past two decades, SALT has
selected a specific project in need of funding and organized a
fund-raising campaign around it known as the World Relief Campaign
(WRC). These projects may vary greatly in location and type but
consistently offer a sustainable asset to the selected community. Once
the project and target monetary goal are established, SALT works to
educate and organize the campus and the city in order to both increase
awareness of the need within that region and raise funds. Begun and
completed during each spring semester, the World Relief Campaign is a
fast-paced and large-scale fundraising drive.
