A four-year-old prays for the millions of children who don’t have enough good food to grow up healthy and strong.

Four-year-old William Mchezima, who participates in World Vision programs in Malawi, prays for the millions of children who don’t have enough good food to grow up healthy and strong.

Dear Lord, I pray that you give me and other children more food to grow well. Continue to provide for us, as we learn at Sunday school that you are our Provider. Continue to protect our families. Amen.

Today, join William in praying for the 165 million children younger than 5 — one quarter of the world’s under-5 population — who suffer from stunting because they lack sufficient nutrition.
