This Lent, stand with families on the front line of changing climate

Our world needs a movement of committed, courageous discipleship. During Lent, join congregations from across Australia as we share in what God is doing among our neighbours fighting poverty and climate change.

UnitingWorld's Lent Event (18 Feb - 2 April 2026) offers a way for churches and groups to step into meaningful action.

receive stories, prayers and video each week to inspire your congregation
invite a UnitingWorld speaker to visit your church (get in quick!)
join a Prayer Circle with other congregations in Australia and Timor-Leste
take part in 40 For The Future - a fundraising activity to unite your congregation through practical climate action while raising funds for UnitingWorld projects.

Climate change is driving a global hunger crisis

In places like Timor-Leste, Australia's nearest neighbour and the poorest country in our region, one in four people is hungry. Half of all children are stunted due to failed crops and lack of clean water.
