Global Poverty Prayer Week





This is our local church - St Ninians in Stranraer.

What is your local church like?

Tearfund completed the prompts for the Global Poverty Prayer Week by asking us to pray for the local church.

Tearfund's ten year vision is to see 50 million people released from material and spiritual poverty through a worldwide network of 100,000 churches.

At this link on the Tearfund resources page you can watch a 10 minute vidoe in which Cuthbert Gondwe, a worker with Eagles from Malawi, speaks of his hope in the local church to be the agent of transformation as God's people are united against all forms of poverty. Please do visit and watch this video.

Above all, let's pray that God would make all our churches agents of transformation for his Kingdom as we serve him in seeking to see his Kingdom come among us, his will be done here as it is in heaven.
