World Day of Prayer International Committee

World Day of Prayer is an ecumenical movement initiated and carried out by Christian women in 170 countries who conduct a common day of prayer on the first Friday of March to which all people are welcome. There is an annual theme for the worship service that has been prepared by women in a different country each year. For March 4, 2011 the WDP Committee of Chile has prepared a worship service on the theme, "How Many Loaves Have You?." The offering at the WDP is gathered by each WDP National/Regional Committee and given to support projects for women and children and to help people who are in need.
