In 2026, the World Day of Prayer for Children at Risk will be observed on Sabbath, 23 May. This annual emphasis invites believers to intercede for children facing poverty, conflict, abuse, displacement, exploitation, and other forms of vulnerability around the world.
The day encourages members and congregations to reflect, advocate, and take compassionate steps to support and protect children in need. Resources such as the Prayer for Children guide and the broader World Weekend of Prayer materials offer practical ways to pray, raise awareness, and engage in meaningful action.
