Dear Prayer Friends, I'm leaving in a few hours for the Colorado Christian Writers Conference. Your prayers are appreciated for travels and especially for special contacts and teach that would make a difference for the suffering children of the world. Please continue praying for all the needy children, adoptions, orphanages, Grace Home, street children, abused children, war-victim children, hurting children of every kind... And please remember to share info. about the Worldwide Day of Prayer for Children at Risk early in June (details below) . World Weekend of Prayer for Children at Risk – 4 week countdown! Dear friends, It is now less than 4 weeks till the World Weekend of Prayer for Children at Risk! We are expecting more people than ever before to join in prayer for children. As part of the Global Day of Prayer, hundreds of millions of people will be gathering around the world to pray for transformation on that weekend! Prayer times will be taking place in every corner of the globe – we already have events registered in nations as far apart as Liberia and the Philippines, Canada and Romania… If you’re planning a prayer event, please register it on _www.viva.org/?page_id=95_ (http://www.viva.org/?page_id=95) , so we can pray for you and encourage others to get involved. The 2006 Prayer for Children at Risk has been written for this year’s weekend of prayer – why not use this during your prayer time, as Christians around the world pray in unity of purpose for change to come? It is available as part of the prayer booklet, in many different languages, on _www.viva.org/?page_id=98_ (http://www.viva.org/?page_id=98) . Remember that this year, we are joining with the Global Day of Prayer (_www.globaldayofprayer.com_ (http://www.globaldayofprayer.com/) ) to increase prayer for children at risk. If a GDOP event is taking place near you, get involved and make sure that children at risk are on the agenda! Information on issues of malnutrition and child access to food can be found on the website of our partners, Oakseed Ministries: _http://essayblog.oakseed.org/_ (http://essayblog.oakseed.org/) . Read interviews with experts from ministries in Latin America, the USA and Africa, and share them with others at your prayer time… We’ll be sending another update just before the Weekend of Prayer to pass on current news affecting children, so that your prayers can be as informed as possible. As Joel Edwards, head of the Evangelical Alliance in the UK, says: "With half of the world's children 'at risk', we need God to intervene. Join in the World Weekend of Prayer for Children at Risk in 2006, as God's people unite on their behalf”.
