A Rocha USA

Fredericksburg, Texas

Cause Description:
Who We Are A Rocha {uh RAW sha} is a Christian conservation organization working in 19 countries on 5 continents to mobilize a response to the ecological crises we face today. Across the globe, people are starving, forests are dwindling and species are going extinct–in part because we have ignored and at times distorted the call to steward the earth. On top of that, an unbelieving world is watching to see what, if anything, Christians will do to care for the planet and the people we claim God created. We have often failed to live out what we say we believe. In response to these crises and to the biblical mandate to care for that which God created, A Rocha helps restore and protect forests and fields, streams and lakes and the people who live near them and so often depend upon them for their very lives. A Rocha, means “the rock” in Portugal where we began in 1983. Mission: Environmental Stewardship In response to the biblical call to steward the earth, A Rocha engages in scientific research, community-based conservation projects and environmental education. Vision: Transformational Engagement Our vision is the transformation of people and places into healthy communities where all of God’s creation can flourish. In the USA, that vision includes a nationwide network of community-based projects caring for creation.
