Our actions are our future.

Will you join us on Oct 16 for World Food Day?

People and organizations around the world will stand together to say “no more hunger.”

Give, Pray, Learn, Advocate

As a Christian faith community, will you stand up? ​

Wednesday, October 16 at 7:00 p.m. CT

As an organization focused on ending global hunger, working through our 15 members made up of churches and church-based organization, we believe that prayer is an important element in working towards a world without hunger.

Join us on World Food Day, for a virtual gathering where we will come together to learn about and pray for people living with hunger and conflict.

Faith. Hunger. Conflict.

Three life-defining pillars, but what happens when they are woven together.

Join us this World Food Day as we discuss how conflict affects global hunger and what does a Christian faith look like in this context.

We’ll hear from World Renew’s partner MERATH in Lebanon about how conflict and faith affect their food security work. Polisi Kivava from CBM will join us from DRC for a discussion on this topic as well.

We’ll also spend some time coming before God in prayer for the millions of people living with hunger and conflict.

Guest Speaker | Polisi Kivava

Polisi is from Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo where he currently works for the Canadian Baptist Ministries leading their African Relief and Development work. He accompanies their African partner organizations in developing and implementing relief and food security projects.

Previously, Polisi has held positions with the United Evangelical Mission as a program officer in Tanazina and as the Head of the department of Diakonia and Development for the Baptist Church in Central Africa.

He has seen firsthand how food producers are negatively impacted by violence and armed conflict. And also how these impacts increase as the violence is prolonged – sometimes by decades – in countries such as the DRC and South Sudan. His role’s have included walking with people living with disabilities and trauma because of natural and man-made calamities. And yet, Polisi continues to hold onto hope and faith because of what he reads in the gospels and how he has seen God at work.

The world's greatest challenges cannot be solved by one person alone.
