our 2023 theme

We are so grateful for all that God has done for us. In discerning our theme for 2023, we were reminded of the numerous references in the Bible to God’s abundant provision and overflow.

There is an overflow when anything cannot be contained in its original vessel or space. Our prayer and hope for 2023 is that we will overflow and positively influence the individuals and communities around us.

ENCOUNTER

We draw on our long-standing relationships with grassroots organisations – our trusted partners in churches, businesses and social development organisations – to build productive alliances and deliver programmes that empower.

EQUIP

We get resources to where they will make the biggest difference. Local communities and churches, which often don’t have the capacity to fundraise themselves. We target resources where they help to build self-sustainability, ensuring your donation is tracked by a simple and effective audit.

EMPOWER

At NewDay United we believe that equipping people with the right values is as important as financial support or training. Our leaders provide the emotional and moral support required to all the amazing champions we serve to be as effective as possible in the most challenging environments.

True to the spirit of “Ubuntu” (an ancient African word meaning ‘humanity to others’) where emphasis is placed on community influencing the benefit of the greater, NewDay United collaborates with organisations that are already changing their world. We work with churches, businesses, community-based organisations and individuals.

We are committed to championing the champions, enabling them to make a difference and become change agents in their communities, their nation and beyond.
