When you ask someone about the miracles of Jesus, probably the one most people think of first is the feeding of the multitude, “the miracle of the loaves and fishes.” The story offers us this simple but powerful truth: When we offer what we have, God uses our gifts in ways far beyond what we could have imagined. This is a message that resounds particularly in One Great Hour of Sharing. A small change in our lifestyle can mean a gift that when multiplied by millions of other givers can enable transformations that none of us could have predicted.

This year One Great Hour of Sharing focuses on the story of the loaves and fishes and the message that God uses all gifts for big purposes.
