Hope08 Supporters to Pray for Families Following UNICEF Report
Families under pressure are to be encouraged by supporters of the nationwide initiative Hope08.
A new quarterly prayer diary, Friday Focus, which facilitates a call to prayer across the nation in preparation for Hope08, challenged readers: 'How could you help a family known to you who are facing challenges?'
Not long after, a UNICEF report emerged revealed that British children are the worst off among the richest countries.
Friday Focus encouraged people to pray for those who work for the protection of the family, for families in conflict and for single parents.
"We felt the call to pray was very timely," said Jane Holloway from Friday Focus. "The UNICEF report represents an enormous challenge to the nation. We are urging people to pray - and to care - as a practical Christian measure."
