WORLD DAY OF PRAYER is a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together on the first Friday of March each year to observe a common day of prayer. Through World Day of Prayer, we affirm our faith in Jesus Christ and engage with the whole world, are enriched by the faith experience of Christians of other countries and cultures, share the burdens of other people by praying with them and for them, and use our own talents in the service of God’s world. INFORMED PRAYER and PRAYERFUL ACTION (Motto of WDP) are inseparable and both have immeasurable influence in the World.
