Pray for the US elections

Pray for a US presidential election result that benefits the world's poorest people.

As the battle lines are drawn up for the US presidential election in November, Christian campaigners are hoping and praying that a change in administration will bring with it a change in policy on climate change.

For better or worse, the US wields tremendous power. It can block progress on global climate talks, or it can help bring monumental change.

Action on climate change is a key that can help unlock Tearfund’s vision to see 50 million people released from poverty.  

Many US Christians are looking to this election for renewed hope about the direction their nation is taking.

As poverty becomes an increasingly prominent issue on US Christian voters’ minds, we need to encourage them, demonstrating what can be done when the church calls on politicians to act on behalf of poor people. 

 
Please pray: 

For climate justice to feature prominently in the US election dialogue.

 

For US Christians to raise their voice and give the world’s poor people a platform.

 

For pressure on the presidential candidates to commit to cooperate in global climate talks.

We are Christians passionate about the local church bringing justice and transforming lives - overcoming global poverty.
So our ten-year vision is to see 50 million people released from material and spiritual poverty through a worldwide network of 100,000 local churches.
