"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." (Proverbs 31:8-9, NIV)

Madagascar is still suffering the effects of Cyclone Cheneso. The storm crashed into northeastern Madagascar last week, killing at least two dozen Madagascans and leaving thousands more homeless. We pray for the families of those who have been lost and for those who have lost everything to the storm. We also pray for relief to come to the area and for those affected.

Advocacy is vital to supporting and expanding the work of FBOs. We pray for the advocacy work of our members as they continue to speak up for those who do not have a voice. CCIH is also launching its first Quarterly Member Forum with a focus on the importance of Advocacy and FBOs. Learn more and register.
