YWCA Dimapur members at the concluding service of the World Week of Prayer held at Gurkha Baptist Church, Nagarjan, Dimapur, on November 14.
DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 15 (MExN): The Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) Dimapur observed the World Week of Prayer from November 8 to 14 under the theme “Called for Such a Time as This.”
The week-long observance, part of a global fellowship initiative of the World YWCA and World YWCA member associations dating back to 1904, encouraged individuals and communities to reflect on using their influence to bring about positive change in their families, communities and the wider world.
Sessions throughout the week drew inspiration from six biblical leaders: Nehemiah, Deborah, Moses, Esther, Abigail and Priscilla. Participants were encouraged to advocate for social justice, contribute to community healing, pursue peace and reconciliation, and cultivate the courage to lead despite personal setbacks and failures.
The observance culminated in a concluding service on November 14 at Gurkha Baptist Church, Kuda ‘B’ Khel, Nagarjan, Dimapur. Following the service, a moringa tree was planted on the church premises in remembrance of the week-long prayer observance.
