THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

The U.S. State Department announced that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed this week with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which outlines a "new paradigm" for U.S. funding of UN humanitarian assistance.

The State Department explained, "The landmark agreement, made in connection with OCHA's 'Humanitarian Reset,' reaffirms the United States' ironclad commitment to supporting critical life-saving humanitarian action around the world, while implementing vital reforms to make that work more impactful, efficient, and accountable to the American taxpayer."

"The United States remains the most generous nation in the world for lifesaving humanitarian assistance--but under [President Trump's] leadership taxpayer dollars will never fund waste, anti-Americanism, or inefficiency," stated Secretary Marco Rubio. "This new model will better share the burden of UN humanitarian work with other developed countries and will require the UN to cut bloat, remove duplication, and commit to powerful new impact, accountability, and oversight mechanisms."

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For President Trump and members of his administration as they seek to ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need.
  • For Secretary Rubio to be discerning as he oversees updates to U.S. humanitarian aid distribution.
  • For U.S. officials as they continue to address waste, fraud, and inefficiency.
