Advocate and encourage others to advocate

On Sunday, 21 May 2017, people of faith from around the globe came together in prayer for the global Day fo Prayer to End Famine. Just five days after this, world leaders will meet at the G7 Summit in Italy on 26-27 May. Currently, only 29% of the required funding has been committed globally. The G7 is an opportunity for governments and world leaders to do their part.

Pray for the world to take action and for churches to be a light in the darkness and a voice in the silence.
