Bee happy Now the church is buzzing Nepal 2 July 2018 Count me in In 50 years we've seen millions of lives restored. But with your help there's more we can do. How will you join us in 2018? Pray + YOU Be part of one million prayers raised to overcome extreme poverty Pray Now Act Get involved in 50,000 actions taken to overcome extreme poverty Act Now Give Help release five million lives from material and spiritual poverty Give Now Your prayer makes a difference My name is and I’m praying this prayer to overcome extreme poverty. From the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby Gracious and generous God, you became poor so that we might be enriched by your love, and you gave the world’s wealth and resources as a common inheritance of all human beings. We pray you will strengthen your church to be a beacon of hospitality for the poor. We pray that, seeing the light of Christ’s love, the nations and peoples of the world may fight not to kill, but to outdo one another in care for the poor, and in actions of gracious generosity. Through Him who for our sakes did not grasp the wealth of heaven, but instead gave all to live for us as a slave, and die for us in pain, Jesus Christ our risen Lord and Saviour. Thank you ! You’ve helped us get one prayer closer to one million prayers raised to overcome extreme poverty. You can continue praying with us by signing up to our weekly One Voice prayer email.

Your action makes a difference We’d love you to send a message to ask the World Bank to invest in local, clean, renewable energy for people living in poverty. Let’s shift the balance of the World Bank’s funding away from fossil fuels. Quite literally bringing light to the darkness. Read Full Petition Dear UK Executive Director, I welcome the World Bank’s current support to provide access to energy for people living in poverty and its Climate Change Action Plan. Access to electricity means women can give birth safely at night, children can study in the evening and farmers can pump water to grow food for their families. The quickest and cheapest way to improve access to energy for people living in poverty is through energy like solar power which is local, clean and renewable. This will bring light to dark places, without damaging God’s creation and contributing to climate change. However, I am concerned that the Bank is continuing to support fossil fuel development. This cannot continue if we are to meet the Paris Agreement goals to keep global warming to 1.5C. Given the UK’s global leadership on climate change, I urge you to call on the World Bank to phase out fossil fuels by 2020 shifting the balance of its funding, away from fossil fuels and towards local, clean and renewable energy which will lift millions of people out of poverty and send a signal to other investors to follow a zero carbon path.
