Lent Event Mission
Statement
Lent Event’s goal is to participate in the
reconciliation of the creation to God by overcoming
poverty.
Lent Event Philosophy
The Lent Event philosophy is to encourage
individuals and communities to intentionally reflect on the place
of Christ within their lives as part of a continual reordering of
priorities and values in the likeness of Christ that is the journey
of discipleship.
Lent Event informs, motivates and involves
first world communities in the practice of forgoing, during the
Lenten period, something that they enjoy and giving the monetary
value to the world’s neediest people.
Vision for Growth
Our goal is for Lent Event to become a
popular global movement that inspires individuals to align their
lives with the way of Jesus Christ, evidenced by reaching out in
love to people in great need.
