This year’s theme, “Moving with Faith through the Elements,” invites us to explore the power of water, earth, fire, and wind in scripture and our lives today. 🗓️ 10-16 November 2024 👉Download the booklets: https://bit.ly/47QSYoC

Thousands of displaced Lebanese families are enduring catastrophic conditions. With over 1.4 million people displaced to date and more than 30,000 forced to leave their homes overnight this past week, the crisis continues to grow. Displacement centres, mainly public schools, are at full capacity, and many families are left living in their cars, braving the cold with limited resources. The YMCA of Lebanon is on the ground, providing essential support to those in need, though resources are in short supply. 🔗 Click the link to learn more, see how YMCA Lebanon is responding, and find out how you can help: https://bit.ly/3YLVk5B

Devotions held a special place each day at the YMCA Accelerator Summit in Mombasa. Aligned with this year’s World Week of Prayer theme, "Moving with Faith through the Elements," each session - two held indoors, two outdoors - reflected on the power of water, earth, fire, and wind in scripture and in our daily lives. Speakers also shared personal insights on the role of prayer, adding a meaningful dimension to our time together. 🙏 Learn more about the World Week of Prayer, held each year with the World YWCA: https://bit.ly/47QSYoC
