Jean Hackett, president of the national committee of the Women’s World Day of Prayer Movement, said: “This is always an exciting day as a great wave of prayer sweeps the world, beginning when the first service is held in Tonga and continuing around the world until the final service takes place – 35 hours later – in neighbouring Western Samoa.”
By the end, the day will have been celebrated in more than 170 countries with more than 5,000 services held in Britain alone.
