The global ecumenical journey reached a significant milestone this past October as theologians, church leaders, and young scholars gathered in the heart of the Egyptian desert. The Sixth World Conference on Faith and Order, organized by the World Council of Churches (WCC), convened from October 24–28, 2025, at the historic center of Wadi El Natrun.

October 16th is World Food Day. We wanted to take a moment to thank y’all for your continued commitment to ending hunger through prayer, advocacy, and action. As we mark this day, I encourage you to consider using it as an opportunity to:

• Promote the Prayer & Action Against Hunger Coalition within your networks – https://www.wvi.org/…/prayer-and-action-against-hunger…
• Share resources from the Weekend of Prayer & Action Against Hunger – https://www.wvi.org/hun…/resources-events-hunger-nutrition
• Support the FastPrayGive of the https://wesleymen.org/ or known as The World Fellowship of Methodist and Uniting Church Men. Since 2011, WesleyMen has focused on bringing awareness to and exposing the realities of global hunger, severe malnutrition, and starvation. We work to recruit and equip leaders in the movement to end world hunger. We welcome leaders who will equip persons in their sphere of influence to engage in compassionate action and justice. Since 2016, we’ve operated FastPrayGive.org as our primary initiative. – https://fastpraygive.org/

Whether through a social media post, a prayer gathering, or giving to WesleyMen, today is a powerful moment to remind the world that hunger is not inevitable — and that faith communities have a vital role to play in ending it.
