Christians across the UK and around the world will join in praying this week for world leaders and decision makers to unite around a new vision for the global economy based on values like partnership and care for the vulnerable.

The Rise Up prayer initiative is being organised by the Micah Challenge coalition of Christian organisations to coincide with the G20 summit in London on April 2. From March 28 to April 3, Christians will commit to individual daily prayer for the summit and join together in a day of prayer on Sunday. On the day of the summit, Christians are being encouraged to meet up with friends to pray that measures to recover the global economy will be fair and take the poor into consideration. Andy Clasper, Micah Challenge UK Executive Director said: ‘Isaiah told God's people to rise, shine and to bring light to a world in darkness. I think he would say the same today'.

Pray:that God will listen to the prayers of His people across the nations and speak into the hearts and minds of the leaders as they meet. (Is.60:1-6)
