International Women’s Day Prayer Evening with Sarah Williams

Join us to celebrate International Women’s Day and pray for women and girls across Sydney, Australia, and beyond.

Since 1891, ADM has been an organisation founded on prayer. The Deaconesses, who began our first ministries, produced a yearly book of prayers and devotions and organised extended networks of prayer circles in homes and churches. Today, as we continue our mission to inspire and empower Christian women to bring the love of Jesus to a hurting world, we invite you to pray with us.

Hear from our speaker Professor Sarah C. Williams of Regent College and the University of Oxford on “Prayer and the courage to act”.
Be led in prayer by our invited guests, praying for women and girls in a range of areas including theological education, gospel witness, compassionate ministries and mental health.
Enjoy canapés and conversation with fellow Christians from around Sydney and beyond.

Join us in person from 6pm for canapés and fellowship at the ADM office above Town Hall station or join online for the event from 7pm. Bring your friends, colleagues, and your church – all are welcome to join us as we pray!
