World Day of Prayer
World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice.
The World Day of Prayer is a global initiative uniting Christian individuals across diverse traditions in a continual bond of prayer and service. People from various denominations come together in mutual celebration, rotating through each other's churches, using a worship service crafted by women from a different country annually. This transcends borders, as women, men, and young people worldwide share the language, customs, and music of the chosen country.
Held annually on the first Friday in March, the World Day of Prayer is a widespread movement, engaging people from over 170 countries, encompassing various denominations and languages. Each year, the service is thoughtfully prepared by women from a different country, offering insights into the hopes, fears, joys, sorrows, opportunities, and needs of their nation. This practice emphasizes the inseparable connection between informed prayers and prayerful action.

Palestine
This initiative encourages us to endure with love despite challenges and oppression. Crafted by a coalition of ecumenical Christian Palestinian women, the program responds to Ephesians 4:1-7. Together, we reflected on this theme within the context of our struggles as Palestinian Christian women. Our aspiration is to inspire women globally to stand together with love amid turbulent times.
