PLEASE PRAY • Pray for God’s strength for those affected by the food crisis in East Africa. • Praise God for the work of all the Tearfund partners in East Africa. • Pray for wisdom and strength as they continue to work and build the resilience of communities affected by drought. • Thank God for the recent rains and pray more rain comes at the right time and in the right amounts for crops and livestock.

  8. A PRAYER FOR EAST AFRICA Lord Jesus – miracle maker, giver of life and hope. We remember your works of compassion and grace. You fed the 5,000 with food enough to spare. You have provided enough to satisfy all of our needs. You ask us to act, as your hands and feet in this struggling world. Father God, the little we have we ask you to bless and multiply. Send your Holy Spirit to help us as we pray and act, and to be with the people of Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan today. Amen.
