There’s a lot going on in creation care! Here are some new resources / courses / news / job opportunities that friends have shared with us, including useful free videos, an online course, and
Climate Justice Video Resource: from Jo Knight of Anglican Overseas Aid (Australia) and Rachel Mash, Environment Coordinator for the Anglican Church of South Africa. There are four brief videos with resource questions, which you can find here.
Creation Care Stories: Jasmine Kwong says: “This new website hosts a collection of short films featuring stories of people of faith in God’s creation. These short films highlight creation care stories in different contexts, including a fisherman-pastor living in a rural, coastal community and a local church in a big city. These videos can be used for personal reflection, and can also serve as a launching pad for discussion in small groups and communities. A discussion guide will soon be released on the website.” You can find the stories here and contact connect@creationcarestories.com.
Creation Care & Christian Mission Online Course from All Nations Christian College. The course runs from Jan. – March. 2025 and examines the reality, theology and praxis of the missional mandate to care for creation, and develop effective, contextually appropriate missional responses to them.

New book on ‘Farming with Faith’ by Bunsak Thongdi from Thailand. He writes, “I’ve compiled a small book detailing my family’s experiences running a farm as a Christian family and using our agricultural journey as a ministry. The inspiration for this book came from a few months ago when I met with a group of Christian organizations focused on Faith and Farming. I realized that, in the context of the Mekong region and Asia, there is a lack of sufficient and contextualized materials for equipping churches on faith and farming (farming as mission).” If you would like an e-book version contact Bunsak directly at kersertoo@gmail.com.
Our Father’s World is the new name for Creation Care SG as it seeks to inspire and equip the Church to love and care for God’s creation, but now with a widened vision for the region beyond Singapore. New details include website, Facebook and Instagram.
