Prayers with Suriname Around the World

3/9/2018

4 Comments

 
On March 2nd 2018, women around the world launched the program written by World Day of Prayer Committee in Suriname with worship services and educational activities. The theme is “All God’s Creation is Very Good!” It invites us to reflect on how we treat the Earth, the animals, and how we relate to each other as human beings. It highlights the importance of each and every aspect of God’s creation and our responsibility to be the caretakers of creation as God intended us to be.
​
Below are just a few of the stories, more will happen over the year. The worldwide experience of the program will be published in the 2018 Journal.

I am attending World Days of Prayer services with my mother since my childhood times. But this year was so special, because our country Suriname, was the Theme country, and as a biologist, working in our interior for so many years I've contributed to the information about our country.
The service was very emotional, because while preparing you don't know how all will work out, and then to see and experience how great the services were all around the world. To see how so many people all around the world embraced our little almost unknown country and our people in prayers for us.
Thank you so much and here in Suriname, we will keep praying for you too. Be blessed. Gado blesi
