Endorsements for Hope for Creation: 
‘The impacts of a changing climate are devastating for our global neighbours living in poor countries. A global problem demands a global response and Hope for Creation provides a way for the church to join that response – standing together to pray and work for action.’  - Sir John Houghton 
‘Hope for Creation unites the power of prayer with the promise of action. It’s a great way for churches to support communities devastated by the consequences of climate change.’ – Pete Greig, 24-7Prayer & Alpha International 
‘The church’s response to the devastating impacts of climate change on poor communities must embody the passion of Jesus for social justice through united prayer and political engagement  – Hope for Creation is exactly that. Coming together in prayer, action and campaigning is what is needed and Hope for Creation is a timely opportunity for us to do just that.’  – Elfed Godding, National Director Evangelical Alliance Wales
