SDA Women’s Ministries observe International Day of Prayer
The Women’s Ministries Department of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church observed the International Day of Prayer on March 1 at various SDA churches across the country.
The event, held on the theme ‘Reach Out,’ was aimed to empower women to spread the gospel, hope, kindness, and compassion to those in need.
Delivering the sermon at the New Life SDA Church last Saturday, Dr Mrs Cecilia Agyei Darko, former Acting Principal of the SDA College of Education (SEDACOE), encouraged women to stand firm in their faith because God allowed them to go through tribulations and trials to strengthen their faith in Him.
According to her, there would be times in their lives when they might lose a dear one, but even in those difficult times, they must still be thankful to God.
The former Acting Principal encouraged the women to reach out to the poor and vulnerable, and share their testimonies to inspire others.
Dr Darko, therefore emphasised the need for the women to carry with them a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to reach out to those in need.
As part of the programme, the women also lifted prayers for the nation and for leaders who would prioritise the welfare of citizens.
They also thanked God for a peaceful election.
The International Day of Prayer served as a powerful reminder of the importance of faith, hope, and compassion in the face of adversity.
