Prayer calendar

Prayer Cycle
(thanks to DUCC for this schedule of prayer)

The 26th of each month is set aside for prayer for diakonia around the world. Using this annual prayer cycle will enable prayers for all the member organizations of World Diakonia. Please add your own local diaconal community and membership as needed.

Some anniversary dates are also included in each month.

Information on this website about the member association will assist you in your prayers.
