Global day of prayer for the poor and suffering

The ministry of Jesus Christ is undeniably marked with His love and compassion for the poor and suffering. Likewise, the first century church and its leaders such as the Apostle Paul made it a priority to remember the poor.

In honor of the life of Jesus Christ and the timeless tradition of genuine Christianity, Convoy of Hope invites you to mark your calendar for 12.12 to remember the world’s poor in prayer.

Pray for Hope 12.12 is an annual global day of prayer for the poor and suffering. 12.12 is a day to ask God to raise up workers, full of His love and power, to serve those in poverty. 12.12 is a day to petition God for salvation, justice, safety, water, food, shelter, healthcare, education and employment for the world’s needy.
