WDP 2018
Suriname
All God’s Creation Is Very Good!
World Day of Prayer takes place internationally on the first Friday of March every year. The 2017 World Day of Prayer service will begin at the first sunrise on March 2, 2018, in the Pacific region and, following the Earth’s orbit, will spread around the world. We encourage you to celebrate in symbolic solidarity with women around the word!
The host country for WDP 2018 is Suriname. The focus is on Genesis 1, the story of Creation, with the theme “All God’s Creation Is Very Good!”. Universal issues of climate change, natural disasters, pollution, and human abuse of the environment—all affecting God’s good Creation and God’s people—will be explored.
​
WDP’s motto, “Informed prayer leads to prayerful action,” affirms that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence. As we observe WDP 2018, millions of God’s people suffer from violence, exploitation, the effects of a global economic crisis, and the hardships of global warming. We encourage you to begin thinking about actions that you can take to further expand God’s kingdom. Throughout the service, the women of Suriname share their stories of intergenerational wisdom, traditions, and experiences of God’s profound love and acceptance. The Bible study and worship service invite us to explore the relationship between God and creation, and God and humanity and asks what is our role as Christians in the world of God? Let us walk in faith and prayerful action!
