Micah Sunday has prompted hundreds of churches in the UK and thousands worldwide to send a clear message to global leaders: keep your promises to help the poor.

This year 31 Micah Challenge campaigns worldwide took part in Micah Sunday, an annual event which aims to galvanise the international church family to pray, speak out and act on behalf of the world’s poorest people.

In the UK, participants called on the Prime Minister to secure a global deal that helps poor communities adapt to the effects of climate change ahead of December’s UN climate talks. Kenyan Christians hosted a huge prayer rally while others organised practical aid, with food being distributed to those affected by drought in Gitega, Burundi, and medicine and clothes going to Abidjan village in the Ivory Coast.

It’s not too late to add your voice! The official date was 19 October, but you can mark Micah Sunday any time this autumn. Be a part of Micah Sunday!
