The Advocacy Summit was so valuable to my pastoral ministry. It empowered me with a vision for how my voice can make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerablearound the world and in my own community. I left this experience with a deeper understanding of who World Vision is, the full scope of their work, and how partnership with World Vision can mobilize the Church to action!
–Pastor Josh Peigh
World Vision Advocacy events are impactful for me on many levels. I enjoy making meaningful connections with others who share a similar passion that I would not have met otherwise. I gain a deeper knowledge of the issues and advocacy process from the speakers/subject matter experts, as well as useful tips. Finally, I always walk away with greater insight and appreciation for the work World Vision is doing around the world. I can’t wait for the ’23 Summit!
–Cheryl Ryan, World Vision Advocate and Strong Women Strong World™ member
The experience I had at the World Vision Advocacy events was truly a great one. Everyone was very welcoming and kind and the events were very informational. I learned about other parts of the world, the reality about what they face, and what we can do to help. Being able to join these events meant so much. It really opened my eyes to the world around me. I still have my notes from 2 years ago when I got to attend my very first World Vision event. I look back on them often to remind me how much I want to make a mark on this world and help those around me.
