Emily Sutherland of Independence Township hosts a local observance of Viva International’s World Weekend of Prayer for children at risk.
“The more difficult it becomes here, the more difficult it gets to meet the needs of children globally,” she said.
“Prayer is one thing you can do that costs nothing. I’ve seen the power of prayer.”
Prayer with her and her husband, Mike Sutherland, will be at 10 a.m., Saturday, June 6, at their home, 6654 Pear Lane, followed by brunch at about 11 a.m.
Also a member of Moms in Touch Prayer Ministry, she learned about Viva this past July at an international conference for children at risk at Wheaton College in Illinois.
“Their vision is to bring people together all around the globe who are working with or have a vision for ministry to children at risk,” she said.
