26 November is Our National Day of Prayer

Faith-based organisations, together with the Motsepe Foundation, will be hosting a National Day of Prayer on November 26 — and all South Africans are invited.

Throughout history, religious bodies have prayed and brought South Africans together to deal with the country’s far-reaching problems and grave challenges.

The Motsepe Foundation, which has over the years worked with and built relationships with respected and representative faith organisations, has had previous discussions around the need to hold a National Day of Prayer.

All Races and Languages

The purpose of the prayer day is to pray for the unity of all South Africans of all races and languages, for the poor, unemployed and marginalised, and for God’s guidance, leadership, and blessings for a bright future for all South Africans.

The National Day of Prayer will take place on November 26 from 8:00 to 16:00 at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

As part of the prayer week leading up to the National Day of Prayer, representatives from the Motsepe Foundation and certain religious and faith-based organisations will visit and pray at the Darul Islam Mosque in Surrey Estate, Cape Town, on November 24 at 12:00, and at the Gardens Synagogue, also in Cape Town, on November 25, also at 12:00.
