The P.R.A.Y. campaign will also make a range of theological and scientific resources on the importance of protecting endangered species and preserving biodiversity available to churches.
Our vision is to raise awareness in the Western Australian Church of the Biblical imperative to protect God's creatures and conserve all endangered species. and empower the Church to translate this concern into action.
Our goal for the campaign, which will run between March and the end of November 2012, is "To promote biodiversity conservation action in Western Australian churches by empowering Christian individuals to act through provision of information, action ideas and incentives."
