This week we pray for the community that gathers around the Food Pantry, for the volunteers, for the people involved in Foodbank and OzHarvest, the work they perform and the communities they help feed. In particular we pray for the people in our community for whom the sudden cold and wet weather brings added stress, for those who go without heating, for those who struggle to find a place to sleep, for those without hearing, for those who are sleeping in their cars, for those who struggle to put food on their table and for those who do not have a table.
This week we pray for Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland- for more democratic and transparent governance in these countries at all levels and effectively countering rape, sexual violence, and other crime.
