Dear friends,
Are you passionate about caring for God’s world and doing or trying to do something where you are?
The Oikos Network provides an opportunity for Christians from around the world who are passionate about caring for the environment and tackling climate change in their churches and communities. Oikos, Greek for ‘home’, was the brainchild of Ruth Valerio when she worked at Tearfund. She’d noticed that many Christian leaders around the world were passionate about addressing climate and creation care but felt isolated and under-resourced. ‘I was meeting Christians all around the world who were caring for God’s world but often feeling lonely and encountering similar issues despite different contexts,’ says Ruth. ‘There is such power in meeting like-minded people, and so inspiring to learn, share and pray together.’
Under the leadership of A Rocha, the next Oikos cohort will start from 11 February 2025. Here is an opportunity for you to gather online monthly over six months to discuss, learn, pray and inspire each other. Each group will have a facilitator who helps create an accepting, listening atmosphere, and leads the group through discussion, sharing, Bible study and prayer. Many groups meet in English and as Oikos has grown there are groups in French, Spanish and Portuguese.
You can join the next cohort by filling up this registration form You can also contact us at oikos@arocha.org.
