The Week of Prayer is international and offers local opportunities to meet and pray with
fellow Christians of different denominations.
The theme this year is “You shall love the Lord your God… and your neighbour as yourself” (Luke
10:27).
For 2024, materials were prepared by an ecumenical team from Burkina Faso facilitated by the local
Chemin Neuf Community.
