Our failure to care for creation continues to cause pain and suffering beyond imagining.
Across Africa
lush lands are becoming barren;
water is becoming scarce;
soil is eroding;
livestock are dying;
and people are in growing need of food assistance.
we are surrounded by images of violence, and we are called to wrestle with how to respond to the devastation, death, fear, and hatred around us with compassionate and prophetic love.
We encourage people to pray with all those affected by acts of terrorism, including
those who were killed or injured as a result of the horrific bombings in Brussels
those who mourn the death of loved ones
and those in our global and local communities who are the victims of violence and who mourn the loss of life and the loss of security.
God, we are peacekeepers and kin-dom builders —lost— in search of how to best support a peaceable resolution to the conflict in Syria.
We seek stability for the people of Syria, who are displaced from their homes, millions fleeing to other countries for safety. Steadfast God, provide safe shelter.
We seek healthy living conditions for all; while reports of chemical warfare and poor living conditions continue. Nurturing God, provide access to humanitarian aid.
