World Food Crisis
From Missiopedia
- Riots against spiralling food costs in several world capitals call attention to a severe hunger problem affecting more than 800 million of the world's poorest people. The President of the World Bank warned that 33 countries are at risk of social unrest because of rising food prices.
- Pray for the effective resolution of this crisis with each of its contributing factors:
- 1) Rising fuel prices,
- 2) Crops used for biofuels,
- 3) Rising demands for animal feed,
- 4) Political turmoil and conflict,
- 5) Severe global weather patterns,
- 6) Poor environmental practices.
- Pray that the Church would be given wisdom on how to respond to this situation and witness to Christ's love.
