Water for Kenya
With an exceptionally designed water filter and mass organization, we have positively impacted over a quarter of a million people in Kenya. The UZima filter, designed by Peachtree Road member Bill Coble, has been recognized and recommended by the World Health Organization. $40 provides one filter that will last a family ten years. We are proud that each year the Peachtree Road Christmas Eve offering is designated for this worldwide effort.

It’s never too early to cultivate the deep compassion that comes from mission work.

At the beginning of Lent, we are asked to set aside a designated amount each day or week as a spiritual discipline. These small, symbolic acts are meant to share in the sacrifice of Christ. At the end of the 40 days, we bring our collected offerings to the church on Easter Sunday in gratitude and for the glory of God. The collection is given to the 17 Atlanta outreach agencies that we are proud to partner with year-round to the benefit of our community.
