Churches across the territory observe this special Sabbath with prayer and outreach activities.
Eastern Sahel Union Mission—At least 500 women came together in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire to celebrate International Women's Day of Prayer. Community women and friends were invited for this special prayer program where women prayed for the government, church, and women at large. Fellowship was a key component of the day. The afternoon meeting created awareness for breast cancer and its prevention. Women in attendance presented boxes of donated supplies for the NGO which provides knitted artificial breasts for women with breast cancer.
