The International Women’s Day of Prayer for 2024 will be holding in March 2nd. This year resource packet Ignite Your Prayer Life is written by Linda Mei Lin Koh, Ed.D., recently retired director of General Conference Children’s Ministries. The packet includes her sermon “Ignite Your Prayer Life” with a children’s story, her seminar “Five Spiritual Benefits of Prayer,” and her activity, “Women of the Bible Prayer Walks.”
Let me ask you a personal question, “How is your prayer life?” What would you respond? Would you say, “It’s on fire!” Or “It’s okay.” Or may you would be truly hones and say, “It’s dying or non-existent and needs help.” Well, whatever your answer may be, this packet is for you.
2024 International Women’s Day of Prayer
My prayer is that as you participate in this year’s International Women’s Day of Prayer that you will open your hearts and minds for the Holy Spirit to ignite a fire deep within that will
empower your prayer and devotional life and your relationships at home and abroad, your
neighborhood, your workplace, and also your church.

The enditnow Emphasis Day holds a place on the global church calendar. General Conference Women’s Ministries (GCWM) manages the creation and dispersal of enditnow Emphasis Day resource packets. These materials are developed with input from six other co-sponsoring General Conference departments: Children’s Ministries, Education, Family Ministries, Health Ministries, Ministerial Association, and Youth Ministries.
This year’s enditnow Emphasis Day centers on “Deceptive Figures Among Believers: When Professed Followers of Jesus Cause Harm.” Both the Old and New Testaments liken God’s people to sheep, the believers to a flock, and our Lord to the Shepherd. However, our churches consist of imperfect individuals, leaving room for a potential wolf in sheep’s or shepherd’s guise. While we might associate abuse with violence, none of the instances discussed in the sermon involve physical harm. None of the “targets” resisted the mistreatment or even identified it as such at the time. Nevertheless, the power imbalance led to a violation in each case.
