West Africa food crisis: prayer and church resources

Help us respond to the food crisis in west Africa.

Pray with us 

We pray for all who are caught up in the growing food crisis in west Africa.
For our sisters and brothers caught up in a cycle of drought and hunger:
for parents struggling to find food and seeing their children go hungry,
for farmers seeing their crops fail and livestock die.

May the leaders of the nations act with insight and urgency,
bringing relief to those who suffer now.
May we too share generously from the abundance that you have given us
and join our voices with those who call for an end to poverty.
Amen.
