Description

World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service.

It is a movement initiated and carried out by women in more than 170 countries and regions.
It is a movement symbolized by an annual day of celebration - the first Friday of March - to which all people are welcome.
It is a movement which brings together women of various races, cultures and traditions in closer fellowship, understanding and action throughout the year.

Through World Day of Prayer, women around the world:

affirm their faith in Jesus Christ
share their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows, their opportunities and needs.

Through World Day of Prayer, women are encouraged:

to become aware of the whole world and no longer live in isolation
to be enriched by the faith experience of Christians of other countries and cultures
to take up the burdens of other people and pray with and for them
to become aware of their talents and use them in the service of society.
