One billion children are at risk from war and poverty

The 6.08 Prayer

The Legacy 6:08 prayer is designed to make aware the issues of poverty and injustice around our planet. As Christians we are called "to seek justice and let mercy be our first concern" (Micah 6:8). Every week we will be praying for something different, so set your phone alarms for 6.08pm (and am if you're up!) and pray for this weeks global concern.

Below you'll find this weeks prayer and a selection of previous issues we've prayed for plus resources to find out more about what's going on.
