The world now has the means to end extreme poverty, we pray we will have the will 
We ask that every house of worship in every country pledge to say this prayer aloud at every worship service - until the millennium goals are met.
"The world now has the means to end extreme poverty, we pray we will have the will"
Countingprayers.org will count each prayer, and update the totals on the world wide web daily. Evidence that you are not alone, and that a manifested will is building that will not be denied.
Q. How many prayers will it take until the Millennium Goals are Met?
A. Let's get started and find out.
Q. How long will it take until the first million prayers are tallied?
A. It would take 200 congregations about ten weeks.
Q. How long until the number of prayers exceed the population of your country?
A. Surprisingly fast.
Q. How long will it take until a billion prayers are offered?
A. It would take about 50,000 congregations less than a year.
Q. What might our elected officials think when they witness our will manifest?
A. That there is nothing that concerns their base more than bearing witness to the end of extreme poverty.
Q. Is keeping the millennium promise a political issue?
A. No. It's a moral issue.
Not only houses of worship can be counted, any individual may, also, make a prayer pledge.
The MDGs are nothing new. Our scriptural story is full of accounts of God's people doing these things and of God calling us to do them, too. Check out "The MDGs - Straight from Scripture" for plenty of examples. Also, EGR diocesan contact Eleanor Braun (Virginia) has put together this extensive list of scripture passages with peace and justice themes.

This is awesome. I love the graphic that illustrates the MDGs.
Our Outreach/Mission Team is spearheading an "end extreme global poverty" letter writing campaign last week, this week, and next week. Information tables and letter writing materials set up in the church library.
