World Day of Prayer Service at St James the Great, Salt

for 50 days

Salt Road Salt Stafford, ST18 0BW, United Kingdom

The World day of prayer is a worldwide event that is held across the Christian communities. This year the women of Nigeria prepared the service which shared with us the struggles that Christians and particularly women face in Nigeria. Here in the UK we take our faith for granted. Not in Nigeria, where Christians face persecution, yet it is their strong faith that enables women to survive. The mortality rate is far higher there than here. Lone females bringing up children face financial pressures, often
exacerbated by their late husbands family deserting them. Education has to be paid for in Nigeria so when it's a choice between putting food on the table and providing uniform for the children, we know what gets sacrificed.
Around twenty members of the benefice gathered at St James the Great in Salt to learn more about the situation of Nigerian women and to celebrate their achievements.
The service was uplifting and enlightening as we heard what can be achieved with a little faith and support.
God Bless our Nigerian sisters!
