The Mothers’ Union Wave of Prayer is a special way of connecting MU members with each other around the world through the ministry of prayer. MU members are asked to pray for particular rostered dioceses at midday local time, so that each MU diocese is prayed for on five consecutive days each year.
The concept of this continuous Wave of Prayer came about after the First World War. During the war, members had been praying for each other as their countries were involved in the conflict in many different areas. When the war finished, MU members decided that they would like to continue with this prayer link-up, and so a roster was put in place, linking a diocese in the UK with other dioceses around the world. As new Dioceses join MU they are added to the roster, and the idea of friendship links with the other dioceses prayed for at the same time has grown, along with the prayer.
Because of our MU Wave of Prayer, which has been in place for almost 100 years, since 1921, there has been continuous prayer for MU and its work. As the different time zones move around the world, there is sure to be someone praying for you!
What an encouragement - both for us to be aware of this support, and also as an encouragement to make sure that we are part of that prayer by our own regular involvement.
