The World Day of Prayer Madagascar dedicated Saturday, 18 July 2026 to the "Root" planting activity as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Worldwide Day of Prayer movement.

They chose to plant coconut trees because of their rich symbolism:
1- They carry life-giving water from above, symbolizing women as a source of life and nourishment.
2- They continually grow upward, representing aspiration, growth, and reaching higher.
3- They grow straight without branching, symbolizing integrity, steadfastness, and faithfulness.
4- A single root bears abundant fruit, reflecting our faith in one Lord whose blessings will continue through the next 100 years and beyond.
5- They bend gently in strong winds but stand upright again, expressing the resilience we hope to see in every woman.

Thank you Arivony and the World Day of Prayer Madagascar Committee for sharing your heartfelt participation in this Centennial Imitative.

An example of Informed Prayer leading to Prayerful Action.

Thank you World Day of Prayer - England, Wales and Northern Ireland for supporting Strength to Stand groups in Pakistan over the past year.🫶

Strength to Stand groups seek to increase resilience and protection for some of the most persecuted, deprived and vulnerable women in Pakistan, bringing social, economic and spiritual transformation to countless lives.

Today, there are over 450 Strength to Stand groups in Pakistan providing vital practical and spiritual support for our marginalised sisters there. 🙏

We were delighted to have a visit last week from our former Executive Director of WDPIC, Rosangela Oliveira! It was wonderful to talk with her about the many Centennial projects and the upcoming International Meeting in Ghana next June, 2027. World Day of Prayer is lucky to have retired staff persons who are still passionate and committed to our beloved prayer movement.

Special thanks to the former Executive Director of WDPIC, Eileen King, for visiting the office last week, and helping us continue to identify people in the photos we have in our archives. This work is being done as part of the "Reflect" Project, as we support committees in writing and documenting the history of World Day of Prayer in their country.
