Webinars on Global Day of Prayer to End Famine – action steps

As more people face famine today than any time in modern history, the World Council of Churches (WCC) together with the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) and a range of faith-based partners and networks invite a Global Day of Prayer to End Famine on 21 May 2017, in response to the hunger crisis.

Message from Manoj Kurian, coordinator of the WCC Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance:
