Beloved Lott Carey Family,
Grace and peace to you in the matchless name of our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
This Easter, as we gather across continents and cultures to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we are reminded that the tomb is empty, and hope is alive. The Resurrection is not merely an event in history, it is a divine declaration that death does not have the final word, that despair will not define our destiny, and that God’s love will always outlast the brokenness of this world.
In a time marked by global uncertainty, we hold fast to this Gospel hope. As America grapples with “America First” policies that have led to the mass deportation of countless persons, many of whom are our brothers and sisters in Christ, we grieve the suffering and displacement. We witness the deepening crisis in Haiti, the unrelenting war in Ukraine, and the growing consequences of climate change across the Global South. These are not abstract headlines to us; they are real burdens carried by members of the global church.
And yet, even in the shadow of the cross, we proclaim the light of the Resurrection. We are people of HOPE!
Through it all, the mission of Lott Carey endures, sustained by the unshakable provision of God. Where there is need, we see God’s hand making a way. Where there is fear, we see faith rising. Our partners around the world, missionaries, pastors, educators, healers, are living witnesses to the power of the Resurrection. Together, we embody the Gospel that declares: He is risen indeed!
Let us be reminded this Easter that Resurrection is not only a promise of eternal life but a call to courageous living now. It calls us to advocate for justice, extend compassion, and stand in solidarity with the marginalized. It calls us to pray, to serve, to give, and to never lose heart.
The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work within us. So we move forward with holy expectation, believing that even in the darkest night, the morning will come. We trust that God, who began a good work in us, will be faithful to complete it.
May your hearts be lifted this Easter with renewed purpose, fresh joy, and unwavering hope.
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
In the hope of the Resurrection,
Emmett L. Dunn
Executive Secretary-Treasurer/CEO
