For Churches

The REAL. LIFE. Exhibit can help your church:

• Experience real life for people affected by disaster, conflict and poverty.
• See how a local Christian mission organization is responding to those needs.
• Understand how they can be Christ's hands to make a difference.

Schedule a visit to the Tigard exhibit or the Redmond exhibit for your Bible study group, missions committee, youth group, staff or outreach committee.

Prayer guides help individuals pray for people affected by disaster, conflict, and poverty around the world.

What churches are saying about the REAL. LIFE. Exhibit

“When I was preparing my youth group to go on a mission trip to a poor area in Mexico, we visited the REAL. LIFE. Exhibit during our orientation session. The exhibit gave us a hands-on feel of what poverty is like and allowed the kids to talk about their feelings in a safe environment.” —church youth-group leader

“I could tell the young people in our group were very much engaged by what they saw, and I want to keep that momentum going. I will be organizing a churchwide drive to assembel HOPE Kits to send to needy places in the world.” —church youth-group leader

"I recently brought students.as part of a week-long mission trip….We had high expectations for our time at the exhibit, and they were truly exceeded. The students were so moved by what they saw and learned. Please find a check enclosed. . . .  You have helped change the course of 24 young lives." —pastor
