This is a call to prayer – an invitation to pray with us every day next week. Sunday 20 – Sun 27 February. In all our activity, in all our work for change, we are committed to one action that comes before, follows after, and runs as a thread through, all that we do – the ACT of PRAYER.

PRAYER IS ACTION!

And it is the most important and powerful action we perform in our fight against poverty and injustice.
As a year of busy campaigning for and with the poor kicks off, we invite you to pray with us – in a focused way in the coming week, and then in an ongoing way as the year progresses. Click here to read an article from John Beckett on why we’re asking you to prayer.

Each day there is a lead-in prayer to get you started. This prayer will lead you into an act of prayer – mourning, thanksgiving, listening or repentance – followed by information on one of the 8 MDGs, plus specific prayer points for people who suffer because we have not yet reached that goal.

Thanks for praying. Our leaders need to hear our voice; We need to hear God’s.

Grace and peace,

– The Micah Challenge Team

P.S Thank you for your calls to Tony Abbott’s office last week. Thousands of people across the sector voiced their concerns with his office. The result was widespread discussion and support for the Australian aid program!
