Instil in us, Lord,
a longing
for the community
of your kingdom,
the fellowship
of faithfulness
which draws us together
as your disciples.
May our sharing
in your love,
ever bind us
as brothers and sisters
in your family,
living stones
in the temple
of your glory.
Tuesday 29 October:
Today we pray for people in Britain experiencing poverty, that their voices would continue to be heard and acknowledged. God of compassion, may understanding and empathy guide our government and civil servants in their response.

Quote of the Week:
“If there is no friendship with the poor and no sharing of the life of the poor, then there is no authentic commitment to liberation, because love exists only among equals.”

Kerenakaran’s life transformed with LEADS project support, with family income from cattle & milk, rice & chili powder production.
