In the year 2000 global leaders made 8 promises to the poorest of poor; 8 Millennium Development Goals which, if fulfilled, would halve global poverty by 2015. The goals provided a unique opportunity to eradicate the most extreme forms of poverty from this world. We are now over half way through the time set and time is running short.
This September is a pivotal time as world leaders come together for an emergency UN meeting to determine whether the Millennium Development Goals will be met.
Think: Fast is an initiative proposed by the Bishop of London, in partnership with Micah Challenge, to urge Christians – in London and beyond - to take action by praying and fasting in the ten days leading up to the UN meeting.
