In two roundtable discussions with the leaders of several global humanitarian organizations, Presiding Bishop W. Christopher Waddell of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reflected on the Church’s commitment to caring for those in need as an expression of discipleship.

“In our belief, Jesus Christ is hope,” he said.

Following Jesus Christ’s teaching to “love thy neighbor as thyself” (Matthew 22:39), The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expended $1.58 billion in 196 countries and territories in efforts to care for those in need in 2025.
