No food. No clean water. No justice. No hope. Poverty leads to despair. This is why Tearfund Wales are encouraging us to put Pembrokeshire on their prayer map this Global Poverty Prayer Week (March 1 - 7).

Tearfund's One Voice is a worldwide movement of people seeking God, praying and acting for justice, mercy and an end to poverty this Global Poverty Prayer Week; praying for change, and being the change.

"Without food, water or justice, would we still have faith? said Tearfund's media officer for Pembrokeshire, Sharron Hardwick. "I was moved by everyone's faith on Tearfund's prayer film. Facing devastation and hardship, they have hope because of the love of Jesus. They have faith, but they need us to act. We should pray for them and act on their behalf. We should keep praying and acting until there is no longer any poverty."

Rev. Hywel Meredydd, director of Tearfund Wales, added: "There are many kinds of global poverty. I experienced the poverty of justice when I met Yvonne, a young lady whose family were massacred. She turned this round from poverty to richness in the Gospel. She gave herself to the work of reconciliation in Rwanda, and that was beautiful."

These voices, praying and acting for justice, are part of the global church, standing and speaking with One Voice. Pembrokeshire can add its voice too.

"Add your voice so Pembrokeshire can literally be put on the prayer map. Visit Tearfund's One Voice on their website, click on Wales and add your details. If we pray, if we act, we can make a difference," concluded Sharron Hardwick.
