What is an International Meeting?

​

The WDPIC International Meeting (IM) is World Day of Prayer's highest gathering - bringing together delegates from National Committees worldwide every four years. Women come together to worship, study, share stories from their contexts, elect leadership, and make decisions that shape the movement globally. Each IM reflects the host country's culture and the global community's shared concerns for justice, prayer, and action. Since 1968, these gatherings have been the heartbeat of WDP's international coordination.
