Pray with Cress!

Tearfund's church-based partner Credo helps teach people in Burkina Faso to prepare for the 'hungry season'. They do this by teaching them how to grow vegetables. And so to help us as we pray for them we're going to do some growing of our own!

Buy some cress seeds and follow the instructions for growing them. Each day as you check on the progress of your cress take a few moments to pray.

Here are a few ideas of what you could pray about:

Thank God that you have food to eat today.
Pray for children in Burkina Faso who are sick because their parents can't find food for them
Ask God to help those in Burkina Faso who are growing their own vegetables.
Thank God for the work of Credo and the local church in Burkina Faso. Ask that they would be able to help many more families who are coping with hunger.

Once the cress is ready to eat you could use it in your family's main meal of the day - and don't forget to thank God for it!
