Day of Prayer for Children at Risk

Tomorrow, June 4th, is the Day of prayer for children at risk.

It's "a call to pray for transformation in the lives of children at risk around the world. Nearly 30,000 children per day die before their fifth birthday, and those who survive face a host of threats as they grow up. Millions are denied education, are at risk of disease because of lack of access to safe water and adequate sanitation, and fall into exploitative work or worse forms of abuse. More than 16 per cent of children worldwide are severely malnourished. And the spread of HIV/AIDS has left around 15 million children under 18 orphaned - eight out of ten of them in sub-Saharan Africa."

Please remember to pray for the children in Liberia along with the rest of sub-Sharan Africa, like the children in West Darfur.

Lamentations 2:19 Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street.
