"As Christians we have a responsibility to challenge the injustices of hunger and poverty, and prayer is an incredibly powerful way to do that."

(London, UK) - One in seven people go to bed hungry every night even though there is enough food in the world for everyone, says UK-based Christian relief and development agency Tearfund who will lead prayers at the National Day of Prayer to ask God to show us how we can do our part to end hunger.

The National Day of Prayer on September 29th will feature a time of prayer for the 1 billion people going hungry all over the world, including communities like 10-year-old Evelyn's in Cajamarca, Peru.

The changing climate and a lack of education means that many of the farmers in Cajamarca are struggling to grow enough crops and feed their families. Evelyn wants to be a nurse when she grows up, but without enough food she may never see her big dreams become reality.

The community in Cajamarca pray together that the rains would come and that they would not go hungry season after season. Tearfund partners and their local church are striving to be an answer to their prayers by helping them to adapt their farming to the changing climate. And together, Tearfund and their partners around the world call for the global Church to come together in prayer to change lives.

"We'll join together in prayer for some of the world's poorest communities - families, widows and orphans - for whom hunger is a daily reality," said Tearfund's Director of Integral Mission, David Westlake. "As Christians we have a responsibility to challenge the injustices of hunger and poverty, and prayer is an incredibly powerful way to do that."

"I have admired Tearfund for many years because it's a movement that encourages the local church to engage in the transformation of communities all over the world," said Dr Jonathan Oloyede, convener of National Day of Prayer. "Tearfund does not just give handouts; they are committed to the whole journey and work with the potential people already have, and that is what we are all about."
