Pray
Never has the church needed to gather together more urgently than today to pray – to call on God to come, to bring justice, to bring comfort and healing, and for us to actually not just offer up the prayer, but to become the prayer. Tim Hughes, musician
We believe that God wants us to bring transformation in people’s lives, physically and spiritually. We start on our knees, because action begins in prayer.
Prayer works because of the one we’re praying to. And it gets us closer to God too. No wonder Jesus told his disciples to do plenty of it – just take a look at what he says about it in Luke 18.
So get your friends and your church involved – see if you can get them to commit to praying. There are lots of ideas and resources here to help you.

Global Poverty Prayer Week – March 2011
This year’s Global Poverty Prayer Week was incredibly exciting as churches and individuals across Ireland committed to prayer for issues of poverty and injustice. The Haiti Earthquake had just happened and it added a real urgency to our prayers. Jean-Claude, Tearfund’s Haiti Director said ‘Thank you for remembering us in your prayers. We know we don’t stand alone’.
2011 is approaching and we will again be mobilising churches to get involved. If you would like to find out more or to be part of this event then .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
