On March 7, 2025, the whole world, in an international prayer movement, jointly observed the World Day of Prayer. This year the country of the Cook Islands is the center of all prayer points, with the theme “I Make You Special”.
The Cook Islands consist of 15 islands spread over 2 million square kilometers in the Pacific Ocean. Of these 15 islands, 12 are inhabited. The capital of the Cook Islands is Rarotonga, a volcanic island with a population of 10,040 (out of a total of 15,040 people). Many Cook Islanders now live overseas, mainly in New Zealand and Australia.
This World Day of Prayer event was organized by the Christian women of the Cook Islands. By looking at the situation and conditions faced by this country, especially every challenge faced by women and children in the Cook Islands. That is why we are all invited to pray together, supporting each of the prayer points that have been submitted through the guidebook provided to carry out this activity.
The Salvation Army Church participated in carrying out this World Day of Prayer activity, both in each church and existing Salvation Army institutions. Specifically on this day, all Officers & employees at the Salvation Army Headquarters in Bandung City, held a World Day of Prayer Service led by the Women's Department office. The whole series of events has been running with wisdom and we believe together that every prayer that has been prayed to God, has been heard and will be answered according to the will of God alone.
May God's blessings be upon the country of the Cook Islands, and God's blessings be upon our beloved nation and country. Hallelujah!
