Africa is lost, damaged by historical injustices

Can we please have a moment of silence for the many lives lost in climate disasters in the last few months in the Horn of Africa and globally?

Pray for that unhealthy, hungry child that has dropped out of school; that woman forced into single-parent as her husband searches for pasture for their livestock; this same man who is likely to fight with a fellow herder over that little water or pasture. If he is killed, his children and wife not only lose a father/husband, but also his love, care and a lot more that money can't buy. Think of refugees forced to cross borders due to hunger.
