Liturgy Guide for WoPA 2025

World Vision Ghana marked its Day of Prayer nationwide, calling staff and partners to “shine as the light of the world” while renewing commitment to vulnerable children

First Lady of Mozambique, Gueta Chapo, joined World Vision International President Andrew Morley and other global leaders in a powerful moment of prayer for the world’s most vulnerable children during the 80th United Nations General Assemmbly.

October 1 is not just another day at World Vision Zambia; it is a day of reflection, unity, and renewed purpose. Staff, partners, and faith leaders gathered to mark the Day of Prayer, a tradition that’s become a spiritual anchor for the organisation. This year’s theme, “Light of the World,” inspired by Matthew 5:14–16: “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

In the war-torn east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, thousands of children have been orphaned by ongoing massacres and left vulnerable to trauma and despair. Through faith-based initiatives like the Let the Children Come program, local heroes like Hélène offer shelter, psychosocial support, and Bible study groups that help heal deep emotional wounds. Stories like Isaac’s, who regained his voice after years of silence, show how hope and resilience are being rebuilt, even as the urgent needs of countless others remain.

World Vision International convened global leaders, including Ghana’s First Lady Lordina Mahama, at the UN General Assembly for the Annual Prayer Service for Children, uniting faith, hope, and action to protect the world’s most vulnerable children.
