Father of all, open the hearts of those who are positioned to bring daily bread to those in need of bread. Help all of your creation to understand your heart for all to be fed. May our actions reflect this as we seek to serve all children. Amen. -Prayer from the devotion for Week 12018 is an important year. It marks the 50th anniversary of the martyrdom of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Poor People's Campaign. To mark both these historic occasions, Bread for the World is launching "In Times Like These ... A Pan-African Christian Devotional for Public Policy Engagement."
This weekly devotional guide, which has the support of 23 national and global church leaders, includes reflections from 46 writers. Bread for the World invites people of faith to use this resource for
1. Bible study and worship when engaging the biblical texts, messages, and prayers to empower your advocacy to end hunger and poverty.
2. Personal and group reflection on the contributions of Pan-African people in American history.
3. Taking advocacy actions in your church or community on policies that seek to end hunger and poverty.
