The global hunger crisis is driven by conflict, by climate change; and by the economic impacts of COVID-19. Even in countries where some have an abundance of food, many people are lacking the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mennonite World Conference is working with a large group of Christian churches and networks to launch a weekend of prayer and action 16-17 October 2021. This will coincide with<strong>&nbsp;World Food Day<\/strong>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<strong>16 October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global church and network partners include ACT Alliance, Integral Alliance, Lutheran World Federation, Micah Global, Organization of African Instituted Churches, Salvation Army, World Council of Churches, World Evangelical Alliance, World Methodist Council and World Vision International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be a time for us, as followers of Christ, to unite across denominations in solidarity with our sisters and brothers, praying for them and with them, so that they can live their lives without hunger, with dignity, in all life\u2019s fullness, experiencing the grace and love of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the course of the weekend, we invite our members to share a meal with other families and individuals, offer your prayers for those who are hungry, and reflect on the causes and impacts of hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sunday, 17 October 2021, we encourage local congregations to focus on this global hunger crisis in their Sunday service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the resources below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a
