G8 Countdown: Help tackle hungerBrian Heasley - 7 May 2013
Nearly one billion people go to bed hungry every night and two million children die from malnutrition every year, according to the IF Campaign. Yes, it is unfair, unjust and totally preventable.
All around the world, even in the UK, people are struggling to feed their families. '

Now, with less than two months to go until the G8 summit in Northern Ireland, 24-7 Prayer, in support of The 'IF' Campaign, is joining thousands in counting down to the time when the world's eight most powerful leaders will meet.
It's an excellent opportunity to tackle issues of global hunger and we are asking you, all around the world, to help by signing up to the IF campaign and praying that the leaders would make good on their promises.
If you are in the UK, you could also help by travelling to one of two 'Big IF' events in the ten day lead up to the summit. Join thousands to hear inspiring speakers from across the globe and demonstrate against hunger in London's Hyde Park.
