Women from the Greater Bulawayo Women Ecumenical Fellowships (WEFs) gathered in significant numbers at Njube UCCSA Church yesterday to observe the World Day of Prayer, a global Christian event dedicated to prayer and spiritual reflection.
The service centred on the theme “I Will Give You Rest,” inspired by the biblical passage from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 11:28–30), encouraging believers to place their struggles and burdens before God and trust in His promise of renewal and strength.
During the gathering, participants also listened to the Lenten message issued by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches, which highlighted several social and economic challenges currently affecting people across Zimbabwe. The statement urged communities to remain united in prayer while working toward hope and transformation.
Taking place during Women’s Month, the event underscored the vital role women continue to play in society. Speakers and participants reflected on how women consistently sustain families, churches, and communities through faith, perseverance, and mutual support, especially during difficult times.
The prayer meeting brought together representatives and supporters from several Christian bodies and organisations, including the Fellowship of Christian Councils in Southern Africa, All Africa Conference of Churches, Anglican Council of Zimbabwe, United Theological College Zimbabwe, World Council of Churches, and Christian Aid.
The gathering ended with prayers for peace, healing, and renewed strength for communities across the country.
